Excerpt:
Here in Michigan we are pioneers,
Detroit daughters of a revolution.

Small town streets are still named,
For Lafayette.

The great blizzard of '78 is discussed,
As though yesterday.

Today the Great Lakes froze,
And Hell.

The polar vortex leaving behind,
Tomorrow's pioneers.

Excerpt

Eyes against deepening sky
and back to rolling deck,
feeling the vibrations from the guns
pass through
the fiberglass and aluminum,
the flesh and bones.

(Bleed, then, if you must,
for those who stop to watch
as I no longer will.)
