Fish On

Jeremy Wade is a biologist, extreme angler and writer specializing in travel and natural history

Where do you place broken pieces of color?

I suppose I will one day display them with pride

until then I’ll hide them

beneath my mosaic collar

a crow hitching a ride on the back of a Bald Eagle

Aroma flutters among dreams

Enjoying together, alone

soothing words of comfort

a fast beating heart

slowly connects

rhythms of two

become one pulse

…Everyday I see him I say “I love you” because tomorrow is always uncertain.

Tenderness cradles the fragile

Breath so sweet with breast

Endearing twitchy nose

Roaming the nights

Continuous search for prey

Shackled to a love that drives a need

Gliding wings feed on its generous bounty

Sustaining life to feet foraging the muddy banks
