The Cuddliest Eskimo

The Cuddliest Eskimo - a fairy-tale by Sarah Beth Schupner.
Once upon a time, there was a little Eskimo named Abigail, but everyone just called her Abi. She was a real spunky chick, always frolicking about in the snow, causing a ruckus and whatnot. She had a bestest friend named SB. SB was a little polar bear cub, and she loved to wreak havoc on the other Eskimos with Abi. One day, Abi and SB decided to play a little farther away than usual, in a place called the Valley of Ice. They knew it was a dangerous place not meant for little ones such as themselves, but they paid no mind to the warnings. Abi was walking along the edge of the valley when SLIP! her foot shot out from under her! She began quickly sliding down the valley's hill. SB tried to run and catch up to her, but her stubby little bear legs could only take her so far. Abi turned her head toward the bottom. HELP! HELP! THERE'S SHARP ICE AT THE BOTTOM! But she was too far, and SB could not reach her in time. Then, like lightning striking a pole in the middle of the tundra, a big white wolf zoomed past SB and grabbed Abi by the hood of her parka. It was Jon! The leader of the wolf pack that protected Abi's village! He swooped her up the valley's edge and brought her back up to safety. Then Abi, SB, and Jon all went back to the village, snuggled up in an igloo, and lived happily ever after. The end.

Why I Hate Reading Maps

I have unrolled a map

onto my kitchen table
and put one finger
where you are and
another where I am.

The space between
is only inches. That close,
I could feel you breathing.
I could reach out and
run my fingers through
every strand of your hair,
touch your lips and
barely need to move.

In the corner of the map
there is a guide for judging scale:
every inch a hundred miles
full of roads and rivers and trees,
the guide a sharp reminder
that you are where you are
and I am where I am,
inches apart.
