a pond

[matthewvernon]

a pond
hazed over with ice
an early spring
a crappie bite

the warmth
made it too late
to slip on our boots,
to tie on our skates

fighting with only
three years of strength
pulling the creature
up from the lake

mighty ducks
cried with a quack
the fish flailed,
but failed

to
get
back
.
