Caribou

Mother caribou bears her calf

and two wolves call it

who will strike first

matter of balance

to seize

the newborn from her side

hordes of caribou this year

more food not much snow

scant misery what else

to do but roll the dice

repeat and charge

Let us overeat this year

famine always comes soon after

like two small peas in soup

pass by your teeth only once
