Reigning In The Rain

Hugo fishes-
in a boat filled to the brim with salt.

there is a line,
far quieter than the equator
that segue into numbers, dust, geometry.

there is no preposition,
to measure the gift, the line, the vine

Hugo fishes-
and sometimes,
ankles deep in salt
he sees a man with no mouth,
no ears, no eyes, no nose,
and no hook
