    dagaz
    come on in twist, for
    a turn on the scythe
    to carve away thin
    to skate on black ice

    dance on night fires
    pierce ragged hearts
    ribbons to raw, to dream
    in everlasting kiss

    A rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.

    Today’s rune is dagaz, which has been translated as “daybreak”, that transitional moment between night and day. By extension, it might also be interpreted as “twilight” and is representative of liminality, transformation, the space between worlds, and suggests walking in both the material world and otherworld.

    dagaz
    twilight torches
    push at shadows,
    hint at a dawn
    blanketed in mists & fog

    one hand beckons
    another wards away
    while the drifter
    goes on the drift
    in twilight once again

    dagaz
    drawn to earth
    more than that just under
    ragged-hewn fingernails
    scratching at blood soil—
    toss aside your frame-drum
    and follow me down

    dagaz
    i shadowstride twilight spaces
    neither other, nor here
    a trail of crimson cut snow
    dividing me from me 
    to realize the whole of me
    so as to rest a weary heart

    dagaz
    she waves at the threshold
    waiting to close the door
    until i finally show sense & cross
    over to her stone winters within
