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.
