Fish Flies’ Declaration
They’re back.
Annual visitors
like winged stems
surface from the river
cling to our screened porches
like shades
obstructing our view,
as if to say: This river is ours.
We’ll give it back when we’re ready.

Terrific! Those last two lines really land.
Splendid! Who knows I needed the voice of a fish fly today? Excellent poem.
