Black Salmon II


Two salmon bruise,/

slap around the rock/

cradled, spilt/

over the jammed water and/

up/

and down/

and up./

The other two/

crack asphalt heels against/

gravel road and inch/

up/

and down/

and up the rush and/

stand/

at the creek.


"Why should I fear when evil days come...A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish...This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,...But God will redeem my life from the grave; he will surely take me to himself."
