Climate Change
Climate Change
Frozen ponds are mirrors--reflections of
the angels. Creatures tend to dwell above
the tree line here in northern woods. Now
why should I, in furs and turban, bow
to wind and frosty cold? I'm hunting still
with quiver filled with many blunted quills.
I have not seen the river otter's fur,
the sheen of fishes' scales, nor other
autumn stores. The rabbits under snow
are snug beneath the emerald northern glow;
birds all gone. I'm asking now in echoes--
How have hunting patterns changed? It goes
to further blunt my family's food supplies.
A change has come to us beneath these skies.
