Sample from Giving It Up to the Wind
Ice Fishing at Mountain Lake
Bill Glenn and I trundle our gear
out of his Jeep, load the sled, and head
a hundred yards offshore
past the lodge’s dock, to where trout
winter over springs twenty feet down.
The ice-auger brupps once, catches,
then his feet are lost in backlit chips.
His bit trepans the crystal skull.
As if relieved of something,
the lake heaves itself out the eight inch hole,
puddling in a silent sigh.
Four lines in, salmon eggs on tandem hooks,
we wait the good wait, layered in wool, in fleece,
and the down of geese like those
that puckered Mountain Lake last August
midnight when the moon floated
beside our canoe, round as this dark hole
we hover over.
