algiz
```
we thorn climb hands
& sanguine weep
ever sky we seek or
follow tangleroot down
to school ourselves to see
```
A rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.
Today’s rune is algiz, which may mean either “elk” (there is some uncertainty if this is the case) or yew (Old Norse). It is associated with the Otherworld, protection/sanctuary, and with guardian spirits/fylgja. The unconscious mind is also sometimes associated with algiz.

come ride the snake
into the cave &
under the wood —
what historic futures
might we find?

blood flowers left in water
no promises made of safety
every step takes its price
closer to the evermore

her breath mine
gliding across time
my heart beats
same as her wings
taking to sky beneath
stones under these feet

embracing skymothersun
asking for her daylight come
to pierce the shadows bright

grounded, stone me grows
'twixt the narrows
drinking a wellspring below

my arms hold boisterous crows
celebrating her return

footprints in fresh snow &
skeleton trees coaled of gloaming
owl calling between crow
a pale scythe sweeps to reap

we walk without even whisper
under a vast tree
some to sacrifice an eye
some to learn to see

growing laughter above —
knowledge that all choice is moot
for the gathered conspiracy

a new arrival, fresh blood
from unknown lands
with diagrams, maps & charts
speaking as they do up north
while describing my pain

"we must leach the poison,"
he said in my tongue,
"before you can walk
the shadows once again"

ride that poison horse
down the medicine trail
stop all puppets, dancing ghost
to heartbeat driving
set these broken wings to flying
soaring out, i'm not gonna look back
