little red fox with
snow on your nose-nostrils, ears
inflate with the cold!

Dreams, it has been said, were the first poems and stories told around the fire in ancient tribal cultures. Jan Hutchinson
We gather, holding baskets
filled with fruit;
seeds and juices
of our loins.
Breasts ready to succor,
feet to serve,
ears to learn
what nurture needs.
Umbilical still grows,
Twists its lullabies;
In and out of sleep
and baths and blankets’ cover.
