The Boy and His Hook

by nor vang - Scorpio

gripping his fishing pole firmly 
	anticipating for a bite
      	under a bulky tree -
the wounded luck keeping 
	the boy and his hook a 
		lengthy stay.

as the elongated grass dancing
	stretching in the aerial -
the boy and his hook smeared the sweats
across his forehead
		and dashing his hook 
				farther away into the sightless bay.

birds nearby -
	singing - 
O, little boy
the prey of the day 
is blind beneath this
dark curtain -
	kindly away to home.

the boy rest his hook on 
his shoulder and away to home as they go.

bring his empty hand 
	through the entangled wines
		in the silent trial -
the boy and his hook bare
	through the hunger inside
		in the silent trial of the entangled wines.

		
		

Reason for writing:

    this poem is for my brother in law in dedicating his life to fishing.  there are days he would go
out and catched nothing but seedweeds.  <p>
