aurora skies draped in fiery ice
shining blue & red above her sled
under the stars of a heavenly bed eternal
journeys Arnaruluunguaq
across never-ending expanses
of snow, snow and rock
the aurora borealis plays
on the absolute darkness
of the arctic firmament this night
Arnaruluunguaq is enthused, impassioned
with the spirits of her ancestors
and falls to the ground, backwards, onto her back
flakes of stellar wisdom, droplets of ancestral pride
moisten the air, thawing its icy vapor
and rains, descends upon her
she tries to catch whatever she can thereof,
with her mouth and her lips and her tongue

A fiery follower of the 'Poete maudit' tradition. Apocalypticist and eschatological. Anti-modern. Decadent, spiritual, extreme, beautiful, dystopian, romantic. Personal, confessional, devotional.
