    What compels a person to be mean just to be mean?

    I am thinking of a couple of scenarios I’ve encountered lately, but when you dial back the vision and look at things 10k feet up in the sky, there seems to be a lot of mean-spirited shit going on at this time. Why?

    someone’s interpretation of Death of the Endless; unknown copyright, found online

    I mean, people are getting off on someone else’s misery as our country goes off the rails. And it isn’t just my country where certain people are reveling in the miserly of other people… There’s evidence of it all over the place in this world, like 00s 4chan took over everyone’s sensibilities. People are obsessed with keeping score on who pwn’d who.

    crow calling at trees
    a name of her buried
    of cairn and cattails
    rushes in the breeze

    windswept waters
    wrinkle at their song
    so, too, the waving of
    hellebore between
    shadow and sun

    cut & cautery
    carve away those
    parts we do not like
    & give to smoke that
    not given to root
    not given to bone

    sun gazing &
    dizzy of dance—
    reborn

    Today rune is kenaz. The word has been associated with “ulcer” and “torch”, depending on which rune poem is used or name derivation you embrace. By extension, it implies flame and illumination as secondary meanings. Tertiary meanings come from ideas associated with those themes (e.g., burning, knowledge, light in darkness).

    beyond pale bone pointing
    carved within the fells
    this cracked heart flinted
    veined of moss
    framed in lichen
    feathered at grey & blue
    here, i drink stone rains
    here, i bathe in sweat
    in steam's sharp relief
