Running Poem: Muskie

"Muskie"

I run on a drizzly May morning--
Image credit
the paved path around Lake Calhoun
is nearly empty.

Other days were spent
people watching--dodging walkers
three and four abreast.

But today, mostly alone on a mid-morning run,
the paved trail is clear--
no dodging runners or taking
the necessity-made dirt path.

By the yet-opened boat-rentals and marina,
a man standing by shore points--
"look."

In the clear late-spring water,
a slender, muscular fish--three feet at least--
swims in the shallow water near shore.
