desert undressing
her dune shifting sand
under night chill waxing
painted in badland tone
she slips beneath shadows
of her whispered song
longing to hold you
to her heart

and howling moon
with the wind
bash this smash this
burning head
towards the in
my fingers spark
flint like iron
my heart burns
at blood within
all at grindylow
and howling moon
with the windregret in rear
regret the mirror ugly
spider cracked look back
past pig gaping jaw
to claw that face off
fade skies out black
we break everything
until there is only emptyphantasmagoria
Photo by Massimiliano Sarno on Unsplash straining again the fade away
but whatever reason for?
transparent to the oblivion already
a silent walking phantasmagoria
but raspy ghast my hollow voice
left to knockers 'twixt walls tapping
aimless wander aloneaches
planting tree day and
under fingernail clay
exhausted, sore and
i wish she was here
to massage the
heartache awayever troll

lumbering through
knuckle rawbone
dragging the room
seeking to stone
the sunlit rooms
ever nothing troll
to youwe are
Photo by Sina Bakhtiari on Unsplash we put on the happy mask
-- we are not happy
we put on the charm
-- we are no prince charming
we sell dreams in plastic
-- we are just hollow inside
hey sing me sad sad songs
and i'll remember my place
just send me a kiss when
you lay me down forehead
sweat in fever remember

edge of a knife
drawing clean lines
in the looking glass,

raido tossing a blanket over
i go within to go without
crows calling over bleak expanse

wind-exposed lichen & stoneAnother rune poem, where the rune is selected at random. Today’s rune is raido, which has a core meaning of “riding” or “journey”. Most often, it implies a journey by wain (cart) which further implies “wheel”, but also has been interpreted as travel on foot or by horse.
