Gone

Fort Clatsop, Netul River ~ June 2007    

Some people view the pilings scattered throughout our rivers and bays as eye pollution. Others view them as historic markers of what once filled the space. Wildlife views them as resting places. How do you view them? Do you know the story of these pilings?  Did someone you know work here?

 

GONE
A floating heirloom
Set adrift
Once pulsing with pride
Forecasting good fortunes ahead
Now these timbers
Moss soaked, lean-to
Another tide
