What Her Father Cast He said stand on your own two feet and her shadow swan into a fish spooled for her reel at the speed of grayling He spoke the river’s name Tonsina shade of a salmon’s breath flaring in the grizzly’s mouth She took off her clothes to hang from the sides of the boat her legs refused to fuse into a tail as planned Kneel at the river’s edge if the father you love has been drinking again don’t fall in Sea lice cling to a salmon after death fall into the fire when the fish is cooked through There goes her shadow again every time it surfaces she dives --Jenifer Brown Lawrence, author.
