In My First Visit
to the Mohawk Reservation
(Letter
to Ernesto Cardenal)
And
the Mohawk life circle surrounds the Catholic cross
in
the Jesuit church: one
cyclic
writing of life one Jesus
translated into Mohawk
And the polluted waters of the St. Lawrence river
coming out of the Jesuit
Church
I see the sad waters
the smoke from the
chimneys
the factories from Canada
and USA
like a river of pests
over the endless waters of the St. Lawrence river
