Fisherman

Dr Abe V Rotor

Kaohsiung, Taiwan 1992

I wish I were this fisherman by the sea with the world at my back,
that I'll be free; or that I'm seen this way through a keyhole,
from a restless throng, yet part of its whole;
the sea roars and the wind hisses through a rock -
and I, by the sea with the world at my back,
deserve not at all, more so when I am gone
to wear the shoes of the great Fisherman.~
