Her right hand traces the fjord in her thigh
She counts the things she is afraid of:
Nothing,
Her own fingers—
Ringed seals
Trapped in the freezing sea.
Sedna by Allyson Young
The legend of Sedna flows through the icy waters of the Arctic, told and retold in many places, bending to each culture. But no matter the version, one thing remains the same: Sedna is the mother of all sea creatures, and as goddess of the deep she decides when the seals, the whales, the walrus, and the fish will rise to meet the hunters of the North.
