Chatham-Kent 6. Essence Boreal

Essence Boreal
On the occasion of artist Lisa Marshall’s exhibit, “Boreal” (October 29, 2015)

This North48° is rich and fuzzy,
like a slice of well-aged gorgonzola
viens of blue and
wedges of soft leek
running through the solid
green frames of forest.

Panagapka is no Erie
no dirty Thames river for
Pakeshkag.
No these small pockets
are holy wells,
deep mosses tucked
within the arms of
the Anishnaabe eternal.

Spiky green leaves atop
a soft artichoke
centre,
reaching
for you to grab hold,
aborbing you in.
Here, you were born.

Here, you are.
