all i ask is for
just one last kiss
before dying
just that one last
chance at bliss
before i surrender
in your arms

salts slip of memoryA rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.
Today’s rune is ingwaz, a rune named after the god Ing or Freyr. It is representative of a channeled energy or transformational process. It is also be seen as the male component of life, and therefore a symbol of sexual passions and the contributed “seed” of life (and, therefore, an aspect of one’s ancestral ørlǫg, or fate/destiny). Some interpretations conceive the rune as a symbol of darkness, solitude or dreaming.
Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.

of giving over
shedding such skins as these is a
matter of embracing one's agonies
even when the fit has gone dodgy
back before time's mists rolled in
clinging sores and calloused regrets
linger in the tenderest of spaces, so
it is best, face set to grimace, to rip
and give over a hey, nonny, nonnyTo like/comment:

In completely unrelated news…
Is it my imagination or are a lot of comments on folks’ blogs starting to look like bots/AI wrote them?
I was scrolling through a few comments on other sites and I’ve noticed that more of them are increasingly sound “off”. Commentors with this flavor of comments don’t dare add value to the conversations; they seem mostly to confirm and affirm. And the truly “weird” ones seem to miss the main topic of discussion entirely, often glomming onto something said in passing.
Maybe I’m just paranoid? Or a grump? Maybe I need more cigarettes.
In still other news:
