OTI:three poems:11/26/16

Open To Interpretation

Standing Rock

So,
Another rescue
By way of explanation attempt
Failed
Lost in the Sargasso Sea
Like floating plastic packaging adrift
Along with the seaweed swirl
That becalms, traps
Ships and thoughts
Like beer can six pack
Plastic holding rings
Around Sea Turtle's neck.
Easy enough to understand,
Easy enough to rescue,
Easy enough to lose
In a drunken stupor sea,
Forgotten struggles in the lea.

Beauty and the Beast

In so wide an expansive
There's just you and I
In a storied stone tower.

Nailed

Tree wood
Nailed
Connected
Proof against
Shaking earth.
Who'd a thought
The house of sticks
Outlasts
The house of bricks?
