ongiara

today i sat in the school mall

thanking the government

for a loan that allows me

to sit without a worry



my first school vacation

will be tomorrow



to canada where

erie and ontaraio lakes

connect with a torrent



in honor of

father louis hennepin



i will french fold desire for you



i will reflect how the thunder

of water over the banks can not

hide the subtle excitement



of your kiss



now i will imagine i am

sliding my arm under yours

reaching across your back to

your shoulder and holding you



and we will take down in

a comic french folding

of knees and elbows



that arrives like mail

from a foreign country



with an indigenous dialect
