one foot in her river
one foot on her banks
waiting as they did
following old ways
for her rushflow to
pour across my legs
Another of my rune poems for a Elder Futhark rune selected at random. Today’s rune is dagaz, whose core meaning is “daybreak”, often interpreted to be a time or place of liminality, or conditions associated with imminent change or transformation. Cusps and thresholds are further examples of ideas that dagaz represents.

This one speaks to me a little more than the rune ones usually do. I like it. I was reading about liminality today, the power of entrances and spaces. And immanence. More Wizard of Earthsea.
Right timing perhaps.
I’ll admit I throw in a ton of personal esoterica into the rune poems, things that might not even make sense to people who think they know me.
Ah, hedging one’s bets…but which way to go?
Ever the question!
Upstream to the source! Onward ho!
