Of Snow and Ice
Fifty-two words in Inuktitut 
A full deck plus a Joker
That's me

As a bike courier

Crowned insane

Beneath a frosted balaclava 
A fervent grin with
Road salted teeth

Invaded my senses
I met myself coming back.

And it got louder
A figure with torch and dog

Appeared from nowhere
Through the blanket
Of that 1960s’ fog....
