    ehwaz
    if you were to call—
    i would ride with wings
    on the dream
    seeking to draw those
    poison years
    away from your heart

    A poem prompted by a randomly selected Elder Futhark rune.

    Today’s rune is ehwaz, which has a core meaning of “horse”. A horse is often associated with journeys, travel and movement. By extension, it also implies symbiosis with another living creature or fylgja (guardian spirit), and the rune is associated with loyalty or trust. Any undertaken journey may be spatial, emotional or spiritual.

    ehwaz
    i have flown
    to the moon
    on ebon wings
    over an ocean
    of night
    just to hold
    her face
    next to mine

    pertho
    berkana
    ehwaz
    the bonecup rattles,
    counting pips on twilight—
    what are the chances?

    a raven dances crossroads
    marked with menhir
    waiting for dice to show
    best the path through
    gathering snow

    under the stone
    frames the door, her voice
    singsonging of below

    ehwaz
    at rivers' crossing
    she joins, shoulder riding light
    silent as the fog around

    no more words—
    silence is the wisdom
    of the day

    ehwaz
    sitting backwards
    to see what is ahead
    a long and winding road
    wending through forests
    to before we were young
    in tall pines
    three crows calling
