the guardian ponies
siberian ponies
on runners of seal teeth and penguin eggs unpack ed’s shed
they unchain
a frozen husky remove a harness from the stomach of a reindeer sleeping bag
with pieces of string
and mountain song they photograph themselves in 3-D snow glasses wearing polar medals
being hugged by Oates
and Scott or knitting dog singlets on the terra nova 1910
they never leave
these photographs but stand closer to ed when he does
