  • seek no

    settle to stone and
    quit with the roam
    seek no, seek no more

    to take axe to axel
    to stop up the ramble
    seek no, seek no more

    follow low water
    flow dark home
    seek no, seek no more

    of crash the rainbows in
    the undergrey at raining
    with the undone angry
    sitting thresholds linger

    stormy passings wet
    my granite sharp face
    —in need of a shave might
    the added phrase be—
    yet, soon comes our clover

    the clover carves thunder

    berkana
    through the pass
    we may yet recall
    all of those parts of us
    long since forgotten

    Another rune poem of mine, where the rune is selected at random.

    Today’s rune is berkana, which has a core meaning “birch”. Birch are often the first trees to populate areas after a forest fire and, by extension, are associated with new beginnings, purification and rebirth — all of which tend to be related to the eternal feminine.

    mannaz
    tangled on wyrding
    bonds stretched to strain
    cairn flags flutter in
    the winds set aflame

    Another rune poem of mine, where the rune is selected at random.

    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

    Another rune poem of mine, where the rune is selected at random. 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 and loyalty, or trust.

    we all a whorl
    turning in & out
    labyrinthine & fell
    for the internal
    shadowed twists
    allowing for hel in our
    heart bone hearts

    can you see your teeth?

    we lay down there
    at the wytching tree
    buried of her womb
    wishing we could

    you and i
    our bones are hearts
    for such places between

    Another rune poem of mine, where the rune is selected at random. Today’s rune is eihwaz, which has a core meaning of “yew”. Yew trees are associated with the underworld and the axis mundi (world tree), as well as liminal spaces and transformation.

    wither of hand
    her pale song
    under white of snow
    gathering round
    the earth of wood
    as crow calls
    at the night
    of stony foot
  • learning to talk

    can we speak plain
    cos i have forgotten
    how to speak
    and the words lost
    all meaning in
    the fog of dream

    anyway

    we needs must find
    them again

    we sought meaning
    in rootsoil and mycelium
    turned over understone
    beseeched the sky
    (i think you know why)
    and whispered to crows
    for their insight

    and as for our meddle?
    we still sit speechless
    about all the things
    under the oak tree
    under the wings

    come, kiss me
    to spoken, my dear,
    under a turquoise sky

    i am inside her inside me
    and you cannot cannot see
    for the fog obscured of her
    mists and dark moon we
    both dance naked beneath
    as i am her of inside me

    this is not a broken
    this is just how the we
    under red the apple tree
    to come with her as
    she comes with me
