Tanka: Arctic Breeze

a blue and white whippet in a winter jacket standing on a rock on the beach and a black whippet in a winter jacket walking towards them
one whippet on top of a rock and another whippet below on the beach

enlightenment
at all angles the arctic
scent passes
of glaciers and polar bears
who share our history too
