This is the tent-pole of heaven, the shamanΓÇÖs tree
or the ash tree Yggdrasil. Or it may be a deity,
KΓÇÖuei, for instance, the one-legged dancing master
who twirls on his single foot at the center of space
to set the stars in motion, and timeΓÇÖs wheel turning.
Or Siva, dancing the dance of creation.
North
is more than cold. Wherever winter nights
are long and the Dipper wheels high in the sky,
too high for setting, the sovereignty of time
lies with neither sun nor moon: it dwells
in the mysterious core about which time turns.
