Mirrorings
and folds
The great
Atlantic shoals of herring
are able to
reflect light
like a
sudden gleam of silver
against the
underside of the clouds
The silver
cloud of fish
just under
the surface of the sea
becomes a
mirror of the sky’s low clouds.
Traditional
Dutch fishermen
saw it and
learnt how to follow the shoals
through
their reflection in the clouds.
An agitated
light that moves
from one
place to the next.
And someone
asleep wakes up far too early,
And sees at
this instant something silver
spreading
towards wakefulness’ heavy clouds.
