OTI:one poem:10/23/16

Open To Interpretation

Fable

Medea
This Black Ship whisked us away, Hephaestus.
Hephaestus
It is curious.
Medea
And you, curiosity manifest. 
Don't you miss Olympus, Hephaestus,
The court of the gods?
Hephaestus
My lameness they mock.
Medea
Rather with your automatons you talk.
Hephaestus
And you, Medea, with your magic lore,
Was the conversation at the Palace's dinner table
Engaging?
Medea
Entertaining. 
I miss it so. 
And my sons,
And Jason.
And after dinner,
Gathered together for tales.
Hephaestus
Tales we have...
Hephaestus sets his hand to the Black Deck...
Moving scenes begin to appear...
Medea
Oh, a fable!
From Aesop!
The Black Ship sails on the Black Ocean, the waves fluorescing, the neon sails shimmering, Black Dolphins riding the bow waves, and the Moon full, the Stars in a clear night sky...
