Poetry Challenge Sumbission

you once the bottom of a prehistoric sea
you flattened under miles of ice
you in the middle of the continent
you in the middle of nowhere
you frugal, freezing and proud
you meeting place of Ukrainians, Icelanders, Cree and Philippinos
you brief flashpoint with a derelict history
you summertime swarm of mosquitoes
you with all of your genius and virtuosity
you home of so many people I love.
