Sault Sainte Marie

Little wonder
You dance on endless seas
In a spinning, imperfect pirouette
At the schoolyard
In the year we found the eclipse
On sidewalks frozen mirrors
.
There we are on the swingset
Or maybe we’re swimming
Or drawing
Or laughing ourselves into oblivion
On days electric inside waves of white light
.
And now here we are
Inside those same waves in different years
Oceans and colors apart
