Upsurge

i walk down the stairs
meeting the honorable mayor of this little town
i imagine
i am the salmon upsurge the river
against the tides
and he is the grizzly bear
i look the other way around
evading a clash of
angry eyes
somehow i am not afraid
of claws

perhaps, i know who i am and
i cannot give in to what he wants.
