    othala
    she walks in beauty
    land unfolding
    to receive her while
    she brings her shine on

    earth mother
    star daughter
    moonchild

    these are our legacy laying
    under the blazing sun

    A poem prompted by a randomly selected Elder Futhark rune.

    Today’s rune is othala, which has a core meaning of “heritage”, “inheritance” and “legacy”. These are all associated with home, kin, ancestors, stability and (in some interpretations) past lives or spiritual legacy.

    othala
    lake facing lake
    in underwater to go
    slipping beneath winter
    cut scrimshaw carved stone

    these deadlands beckon
    ...come, sit, eat...
    blackwing at wellside up
    watching the old wind sweep

    othala
    undercloak, reaching back
    to bones & stones
    through blood & black
    rime-eyed & cataract

    we razor high drifts
    highspaces we roam
    with gills on our tongues
    drinking burning skies &
    slipping closer to home

    othala
    i fell chasms
    i drowned lake bottoms
    to reclaim my ancient teeth

    old man crag
    accepted my pointed bone
    before he swept me home
    a-chatter on north winds

    othala
    emerging ash smudged &
    marked as nowhere
    from the beginning—
    back to the barrow
    on a dark wood trail
    lined of poppets & treats
