    skindancing on the
    edge of a knife
    drawing clean lines
    in the looking glass,
    mapping a path to
    redemption

    raido
    tossing a blanket over
    i go within to go without
    crows calling over bleak expanse
    while the narrows snake ruddy
    over snow-covered fells
    wind-exposed lichen & stone

    Another rune poem, where the rune is selected at random. Today’s rune is raido, which has a core meaning of “riding” or “journey”. Most often, it implies a journey by wain (cart) which further implies “wheel”, but also has been interpreted as travel on foot or by horse.

    irrelevance for all the trying
    to stay within and not slip
    between tall men and mists
    outside the pales posted
    at the edge of town

    même ainsi,
    pour l'étranger:
    l'enfer, c'est les autres

    watchmen fall silent
    as shadowhands by
    the light of the moon
    reveal the monster within

    i have still not learned to
    unexpect all the things
    even the moon might
    choose to hide shy
    behind her pale veil
    at least some of the times

    impenetrable clouds
    mar my view
    i turn eyes from
    skies to soil
    to readjust anew

    my slow break echoes
    through and through
    an empty world
    timber splintered decay

    how long the weary
    before even weary
    must fall down?

    pale songs cut
    our rebel selves
