WINTER 2005


Lawrence Carradini
TROUT FISHING IN AMERICA, NO REALLY

I would watch the earth where heaven's tears
had streamed its face
to gather proof that creatures
lived beyond the looking glass.

When flies would hatch, not the blue bottle, green,
though bottles littered the shore of my life
while I waded deep
trying all the time not to drown,

these May creatures seemed to appear like ether
flumes. Ain't it amazing how
one creature attracts another,
and still, another to that?
