salmon fan somewhere a fish
swam nakedly
up the stream
toward a triad
of stones assembled
for its return

tangled in seaweed
once
lost in an inlet
once
in the wake of huge boats
a few times

the fish believes, now,
in its adopted mother the ocean
where all things can happen.

returning to touch these stones,
to spawn,
largely evened, but still odd,
again, once again.

the fish has come back intact...
and so the fish live.
