Santa Has
Snow Blindness {Rural Alaska}
Up here
the
Inuit sometimes resort to
cannibalism
as a
method
of
survival
People
fear the cold,
but it's a
dry
lack of
heat.
Ice falls off into the
North Pacific.
I held up a photo of
Santa
and set it afire with a
match.
As the
8x10 crumples into
ash
Santa's face still does not
burn
and an
Inuit tells me he's seen
that man
staggering
North
drunk
covered in red,
a nose and cheeks to match,
ready to club another
seal to death
with his
bare hands.
