Night Fishing

early morning heat blows through the house

through open windows and doors...  we 

glance over our shoulders to see if rain is

in the forecast...  ceiling fans circulate but

will not cool long as the day progresses...

high ceilings help yet a solution is not...

we back-peddle our alarms from one house

to the next letting them know that summer

is no longer on the way as it has arrived

ahead of schedule...  rats cluster under the 

back porch deck looking anything at all

they can find to eat from spiders to ants to

to insects caught in corner webs...  and all

our cats can do is sit and watch the playful

antics of nature...  on these days there is no

morning fog and no concern for travel

either on land, on the water, or in the air...

we fish at night when they are not sleeping

and listen to the sound of our movements...

it is a simple time when the summer arrives

and we no longer have to go into the city.
