Ice Fishing
Alaska
Tragedy
Off Western Coast of Alaska ice fishing
Facing Old Soviet Union days of wishing
“Tear down these walls” literal as gap in ice
Proud of country privileged to fight for twice
Ameliorate with Dad and brothers six
Each their own world to fish not intermix
Susurrus sounds cover with abated wind
No lido, cold resort staid for disciplined
State of art spandex first layer kept us warm
Primary use world class swimmers to transform
Haul of Salmon to bring home our loved ones
Time to drop bait were Dad and his six sons
Lines drop anticipate to fructify our strike
I looked over at Dad and saw a view I dislike
Why is he standing up with back to hole
Horror, perception lost, turned, lost his soul
Our Father felled into the dark, black, abyss
(To be continued)
