OSWEGO, NEW YORK

The summer sun was setting
and the urban landscape
where the river flowed north
into the last Great Lake settled
into quiet, the working class burghers
and their beautiful families finally 
relieved of endeavor and stress
The northwest breezes caressing the
waters turned reflected street lights
into shimmering diamonds that made
the city seem rich under a golden blue,
orange blue, cobalt blue sky, then black
sky and quiet, a hint of prayer and 
promise and a community finally at rest,
the kind of Saturday night that a
Sunday morning deserves


Oswego: from the Onondaga deyoshweege
“splitting waters”, “pouring out place” – where the
Oswego River meets Lake Ontario .

A Place of Creation
---------------------

Telephone City, Wayne Gretzky’s home town, the place of my birth.
Thirty three years, I played, worked and walked this piece of earth.

Given - by Sir Frederick Haldimand, “ Haldimand Proclamation, ” -
to the Iroquois, six miles, each side of the Grand River, the six Nation

Reserve, from its source to its mouth ( 950,000 acres ) 904,000 eradicated,
46,000 acres left for the Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga, the rest confiscated,

as the Oneida, Seneca and Tuscarora are left to share this land.
Most taken by many devious means at the white man’s hand.

This is the place I grew up, the place that educated me.
The mean Streets of Brantford, forty years I seldom see.

Three thousand miles, forty two years away.
Life has been, in many ways, lived within a fray.

Home is where the soul, the spirit, the heart is, anyway.
So out here in beautiful B. C., is where I will stay.
