My Region



My region.  The familiar
            tastes, jobs, faces, and tree-line.

My region.
            The tilting of an eyebrow tells all we need to know.

That sense of “us.”  This is my region.
            Us. The restaurant in the gas station. 
Ply-wood cabins on frozen ice.

            Us.  Accent and the turning of phrases, so that wherever I go, I am known as “us.”
