"The Fog"



"The Fog"
Greg Budig 2021

The fog seemed too 

heavy to be real.

Entombed inside the 

heavy grey veil of a 

suffocating atmosphere. 

Everything was muffled,

even my thoughts. 


We slipped out onto 

the water. Pontooning 

into the heaviness of dawn.

Searching for panfish and 

what else lies below. 

Our eyes strained to 

listen for oncoming boats. 


Mysterious was the fog 

as we crept across the 

unbroken water. 

To the side a bass rippled 

the mirror of the pond. 

Senses tingled as we 

anchor off the sandbar. 


Slip bobbers set to 

nine feet below us. 

Small jigs tipped with 

some grubs and worms. 

Floating on the surface, 

unaware of what's below us. 

Waiting is all we can do. 


Everything is a mystery, 

the dullness of the morning.

The fog has trapped 

us, unable to lift.

The air and the water 

cannot be divided. 

Waiting is all we can do. 


The End
