dagaz
```
i seek you in umbra
slipping 'twixt & 'tween
between bone & meat
there, in the hollows
where twin shadows meet
```
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
```
poling across
the lake of mists
following the scent
of apple blossoms
in seeking an
island's far shore

dagaz
```
quiet on the borderlands
just wind singing fences
pushing puddles melted snow
waiting wolves ache to break free

dagaz
```
i prefer the company of shadows
not knowing the wolf for dog
i bare neck, hoping for a nip

lack of certainty
stokes midnight's flicking flame
```

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
```

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
```

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

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

tossing a rune — 09may25
The Elder Futhark rune “dagaz“.
```
one foot in her river
one foot on her banks
waiting as they did
following old ways
for her rushflow to
pour across my legs
```
Another of my rune poems for a Elder Futhark rune selected at random. Today’s rune is dagaz, whose core meaning is “daybreak”, often interpreted to be a time or place of liminality, or conditions associated with imminent change or transformation. Cusps and thresholds are further examples of ideas that dagaz represents.
