“Line 5” has corroded
snake oil flows
through aged pipelines
it slithers 12 miles
through Native land
pushing fossilized lies

its seeds sprout in Spring

Nature strikes an angry beat
shakes the crown of trees

wine poured into
crystal glasses

and her fingers tapped
a doggie-bag beat

well fed creatures
stretch and yawn
screaming children and

shut the box and locked it
grandma carried the load
to beloved garden plot
among the clementines and lilies
she labored, humming,
and buried it six feet deep
