An ice-lined bank
break a sheet to enter
a slow, cold seizing.
Steps across the winter current
for meditations to begin
cast, mend, drift
retrieve
feeding lines
to every seam and run.
Wade downstream
repeat the rituals
all depths
then to the shore.
A moment yet
for stillness
and the river’s flow.
Then a step through the icy edge
to go.
