Sitka had been called
New Archangel
At the Russian Colony
In what had been
A quite other kind of invasion
By Russians back then
Was it 1809 ish
And then
Such early versions of civilization
All out for colonies
All the way
Up and the down the Country
You do see a history
Of a punctuated e
For all of the
Above category
From numbers truly
To how much the
Hidden hand of destiny
Is quite literally




We demand review
A “New Archangel” will still do
For a place name at Sitka
When East and West
Have found the Best
Way through time
To make work done
With words in fine
