Does anyone have a copy of Ted Hughes' poem 'Go Fishing'? I'd be very grateful if you would paste it up, I can't get hold of it anywhere. Thank you :-)

how long is it?
I found this

Go Fishing
Join water, wade into underbeing
Let brain mist into moist earth
Ghost loosen downstream
Gulp river and gravity

Loose words

Cease.

Thank you cacian, it was good of you to take the time to post that. I had googled the poem and did come across that site. I don't think that is the whole poem though (although, having re-read it I'm wondering if perhaps it is?).
