a rush of light between buildings and everything is white or black or singed with silver like a knife’s flash or a fish’s leap and there I am age 8 and the river is weeping while trout heave and thrash on death lines under a quiet sun
Written for Twiglet # 281 “quiet sun”

What a frantic scene you’ve written, with that don’t-give-a-care sun up there doing its own thing.

Yes. The sun shines on regardless.

Nice! A good memory.
Most of my fishing has been slow, tight line for fish that run for underwater brush snags. No silver flight.

ah. 🙂 I actually hated it… the slow death. It put me off fishing for life. But I understand that others enjoy it.

I got your disquiet about the fishing in the poem. At 8, how does one articulate one’s distaste? Well written for sure.
