4am. Lashes of icy water smack the shoreline and the legs of the fisherman. Time to go. 5am. A line is cast into the darkness as sunrise peers over the horizon. 6am. Idle, he waits. The boat sways while waves play its hull like a drum. 7am. The hungry arc of a tethered line lurches into the deep. Time to go. 8am. Salty lips, cracked hands, drenched feet, he pulls another catch onto the rusty vessel. 10am. The sea is a mirror for the sun now, as he battles the heat and the gulls whose swoops warn the fins below. Time to go. 12pm. On shore he rubs a fist over his watch. Its dial is radiant and its hands eclipse the twelve. A morning complete. As his feet land onto the wet sand he smiles. Time well spent, he thinks, but now, it’s time to go.
