Suspended miles above, on height

of dizzy death-defying span,

a Mohawk man prepares the site

for implementing steel-clad plan –

a skyscraper to lead from earth

to heaven’s altar,  far above;

for skywalkers to traverse girth

and walk the path of clouds in love.

*

For the many Mohawk steelworkers from the Kahnawake reserve in Quebec

      Thanks Debbie! 🙂 I can’t help but shuddering at the thought of walking around so high up in the air….
