Stairway to Heaven

Portsmouth, NH 4/6/12  J. Stimmell

Stairway to Heaven

Tractor trailers

floating free

above the earth,

tornado propelled

across Dallas skies.

Fishing trawlers

floating abandoned

from Japan’s Tsunami:

Sunk off Alaska

by the Coast Guard.

Rising tides sinking cities

and island archipelagos,

while drought descends

upon the farm.

Who will save us?
