Degrees of Latitude<\/em><\/h1>\n

Laurel Blossom<\/h2>\n

from DEGREES OF LATITUDE<\/p>\n

We all lived together in the big stone house, my mother, my father, my two brothers and me.<\/p>\n

Like bats, avoiding each other by radar.<\/p>\n

\u02da<\/p>\n

Even now:<\/p>\n

When we (that is, Lionel and I) invite Buddy and his wife to go dancing, he says there\u2019s a thirty percent chance.<\/p>\n

No<\/em>, he says, you have to understand. That\u2019s up from zero.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u02da<\/p>\n

Thirty-five million years ago. Ice began to form.<\/p>\n

\u02da<\/p>\n

In my crib I could hear them by the fireless fireside.<\/p>\n

In silhouette, silent, my Arctic family circle: mother, father, Buddy, Will.<\/p>\n

My father might have called it a den of inequity<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the dark above my crib: spirals swirling.<\/p>\n

In my held breath: <\/i>Aurora borealis.<\/em><\/p>\n
