Salmon at the North Fork
The river heaves with
urgency of orange bodies
twisting shimmer of
scales, eyes protruding
with effort of
throwing themselves
forward
ever forward
instinct driven
gaining inch
by inch
against the fall
of rushing water.
Our ears filled with it,
eyes pounce on
each body erupting
from the foam
we stand on the banks
and cheer
