Choir on the Rogue River

My reading

Choir on the Rogue River

Breaking the mouth
Of the jetty with their
Sea lice-laden gills

The chrome steelhead
Are boiling
In the river now

Swimming upstream
Straight for the gravel
Where by now

Rods and beaks poise
In expectation, the men
On the bank burst

Into song- a fisher’s
Choir, celebrating
Eternal Spring
