Mammoths, Ely Kish
Autumn has come to Michigan. The birch leaves look like little flames wagging on the ends of branches. It’s sunny, but cool, with strong winds pushing heavy clouds across the sky. They won’t drop any rain here; the air currents won’t let them linger. Two mammoths have wandered through the trees, a long way from their grasslands south of the glacier. They’re thirsty and the lake is sweet. A breeze brushes their short summer coat drawing ripples in the fur. Soon the mammoths will turn shaggy, woolly. This is the end of their summer cut. A large moose gives the giants quiet distance, lets them suck up water while it crops water grasses and the succulent parts of lilies. The beaver, for its part, doesn’t even notice the mammoths. They repay its attention in kind. The wind shifts a little, pushes the water grasses against each other, sways the tops of pines, and pulls a few ochre leaves from the birches. They look like flakes of amber when they land on the surface of the water. As the air stills, a chickadee sings, its dee-dee-dee filling the space between breezes. The mammoths’ bellies feel bloated and cold now, so full are they of the lake. With a rumbling sigh, they turn back to the grasslands to wander, feed, and let the autumn sun warm their backs before the coming chill.
