snowfire a fox takes shelter in the curl of its tail
sun spider
I centre myself
in its web
the language of loss
the last herd
of grey ghost caribou
nearly extinct
I hold your hand
until you disappear
we offer her
to the warm earth
in a silence
more eloquent than any
language of loss
ghost-light
above the coulee
an antelope
lies down beside
my sister
