Mirror of the Soul

The fish leaps from one eye

to the other, transparent

except for an outline,

and the splash it makes

carries no sound, but

I know it is there

because I saw its 

shadow as the sun

tarried low in the late

afternoon sky.  So I

drop my line into

the shallow pond

of his eyes, colored

green with flecks

of gold, but 

the fish is not

interested 

in what I have to offer,

and so it 

swims deeper, 

to a place I cannot reach.
