On Hermann Pohle’s

Boy Fishing In a Mountain Stream

 

                                   

A huge golden frame surrounds

sunlight melting into reaching

green leaves,

sharp rockiness softened by the

quiet rush of cool water.

In a crooked world that seems

straight,

where the sun only reaches

one side at a time,

a small boy

with a bright red handkerchief

stands in the shadow

and waits.
