"They say Eskimos push their old out on frozen blocks
out into freezing oceans
with nothing but a coat"
"They say the rest of the village stands on the shore
if you can even call it that.
The shore."
"They say no one says a word
not even children,
not even their children."
"They say everyone stands quiet
that deep frozen quiet
humming along to that tundra wind."
