catch and release
by Mary Frances Spenceri reel in
this day
familiar fish
bucket full
boat anchored
gear
put away
in the stillness
i release
silver arrows
gracefully back
into the lake
emotions
too slippery
to hold
will slide away
under midnight water
and tomorrow
i will bait
the dawn
with positive intentions
string a new hook
and wait
for the
big kahuna
