What is Michigan?

Did I miss again.
Michigan,
fur trading
and trees
an arbor
bye
"De twa"
The narrows
on a flow from
Here on to eerie
Opportunity knots,
tied up in dreams
tired, resting, rolling
a magic carpet conveyor
of planned art soul essence.
the ego smooth and painted
I car us
like wings
to the setting sun.
