    i will meet you
    at the crossroads
    crows cussing at the wind

    i offer up knowing eyes
    you offer up the same
    crows still cussing the wind

    we both follow the
    most broken road
    crows silent on the wind

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

    Today’s rune is gebo, which has a core meaning of “gift”. This relates to all forms of reciprocity: transaction, generosity, hospitality and sacrifice (in the sense of giving up something). It may also mean offering up a talent or skill; or gebo may suggest a synergistic, possibly romantic, relationship.

    for what seems a forever
    i have made myself a gift,
    ready to trade this chilled cheek
    for a summer's kiss from you

    "we sacrificed all the things we love
    to get more of nothing"
    cry the echoes of november in the empty
    of this autumn head of mine—
    gates dissolve by way of drifting snow
    revealing the only thing that's real
