Will father and son survive an attack of icy elemental predators?
The Snow Men


Sparky
Shut fast the door, the old man said.
Tut! Boy, were you born in a tent?
Cut wood stacked near the glowing hearth;
But blizzard wolves have tracked our scent,


Turtle ~ KanyáthƐko:wa:h
Wind does howl through the crisp night air
And winter hunts with all her might.
Grand bellows beyond the door jam
Fanned fire that cuts through cold of night.
