  • tossing a rune — 06jun25

    eihwaz
    we walk dire valleys
    you and i
    our bones are hearts
    for such places between

    pull me gloaming to,
    give this stonefield life

    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

    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
  • inside the inside

    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

    retreating to my wood
    i consider cutting all tethers
    so to linger there forever
