Rengay

Salmon on Greens

splash!
stronger than the angler
was the pike 

with each telling
the fish grows larger


market stall
—
in the dead eyes of the cod
the reproach

"it's too small"
the little boy says
—
he throws it back

a man in herringbone
orders the grilled trout

midnight buffet
a salmon sitting on greens
the centerpiece

21-24 may 2004
