If an Aivilik Eskimo is given a photograph
the wrong way up,
he doesn’t find it necessary
to twist it around.

Bugs dig under the skin; leaving an itchy mound, swollen, to a tiny red eye. Aging skin draws
a map to hidden treasure; hair waits for
the next Ice Age.
I am and I am not is the riddle that misled Oedipus
into his Freudian dream.
As the path is uphill, I thought I'll start at the other
end, only to find that way is uphill too.
