An Angler Cook's Lament & Thanks

If only I'd released the perfume
aroma of sweet onions sooner

& not waited so long . . .

for an iron skillet's worth of heat
now burning onions & my fish into
something like blackened cat food

. . . but didn't the onions miraculous

caramelized fish flashed with lemon
& the glistening white shingles sizzled
