A Tobogganist
Coffee Dog and Rocket Dog ran ahead and plunged into the group of children assembled on the far end of the clearing. When Jenny was here she might have been at the kitchen table waiting for him, a cup of tea in front of her, Tummy Mint, and a book in her hand, holding it to her face like a fan. \"Need some help?\" The boy looked up with suspicious eyes, balanced now on the toes of his little boots, a blue mitten, robin's egg blue Jenny would call it, pressed against the snow. Over a bump he fell back and, reaching for something, his right hand fell to Glenn's shin, feeling through the denim, the thin hard bone close to the surface, where his fingers found it like a handle, like a grip, and Glenn leaned into him, pushing them forward while he whispered the roar of a rocket into Derek's ear until they came to a stop closer to the woods than Glenn, or anyone else that day, had ever come alone.

The Final Cold
The grandmothers serve Olbren fish soup as we wait for the other two to arrive. Most of the grandmothers are in the back room softly speaking words I do not understand, but one is in the room with us, watching for the arrival of the others and refilling our soup bowls. First they pull it off the sled and spread it out on the snow. The sun is high up in the sky and I am near the sea and I know that I can walk across the sea as we can float across the snow in our shoes and I know that there is something across the sea but I do not know what and I think that I am having the dream but all I want is to see Marje so she must be across the sea and I walk across it to find her and I walk for a long way until I see the other shore and on the other shore is a boat with Hendry in it waiting to row back the way I came from but I do not see Marje so I go to the glacier and there I see a cave so I go inside and Hendry says thank you now I can please my father and he begins to row across the sea and when I go to join him there is ice in my way and I can see through it but I cannot leave the cave in the glacier and this is it this is it then Marie is in the boat instead of Hendry and no one is rowing and she waves at me and lies down in the boat.
