The man gazes at the water,
\nfishline and hook.
\nThere is perfect pitch in the line.
\nThe single note of a song,
\na concerto of intensity.
\nIs the fishing good?
\nThe answer rises and falls
\nlike the beat of a huge heart.
\nTime is coming for the bait.
\nA string of light looking for its darkness.
\nSilence looking for its sound.
\nThe ache of the soul
\nlooking for its peace.
\nThe fishing is good.
\nSomething nibbles
\nat the world\u2019s loneliness,
\nlooking for the fisherman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
