Rengay

Salmon on Greens

splash!
stronger than the angler
was the pike 

with each telling
the fish grows larger


market stall

in the dead eyes of the cod
the reproach

"it's too small"
the little boy says

he throws it back

a man in herringbone
orders the grilled trout

midnight buffet
a salmon sitting on greens
the centerpiece

21-24 may 2004
