Los ritual

She took the big plunge
I accompanied for the encouragement
the ice dive no wetsuit surface breaker
the local name escapes me

We walk back to the camp
She's shivering she's shaking but
- Don't touch me

The others, the fire mob
snort and scoff - Is it even
real if you didn't film it

That's when I started to untie the antique harpoon
from the wall

She shook her frosty curls like - Enough
of your nonsense

She'd undertaken the big dipper
and was free of us all
