Loon at Night
I went out with my father
to fish one night.
A loon hung above
our heads. Like a lamp.
The moon a frying pan. Its light
soft and yellow like butter.
My father cleared
his throat. The smoke
from his cigar
twisted like licorice
in the cool night air.
The row boat laughed. And the fish
danced all evening.
