cut & cautery
carve away those
parts we do not like
& give to smoke that
not given to root
not given to bone
sun gazing &
dizzy of dance—
reborn
Today rune is kenaz. The word has been associated with “ulcer” and “torch”, depending on which rune poem is used or name derivation you embrace. By extension, it implies flame and illumination as secondary meanings. Tertiary meanings come from ideas associated with those themes (e.g., burning, knowledge, light in darkness).

I’m wearing this rune right now, exactly for the reasons your poem has expressed. How lovely it is to have met you, Michael. An honor.
I am honored as well. Glad you enjoyed my little bit of randomness.
I have enjoyed it. Thank you, Michael.
Wonderful ♥️
Love the imagery and message. 🌄
Thank you very much Michele. 💕
You’re very welcome, Michael and thank you. I enjoyed sitting with that one for a while, imagining the scene and the sense of liberation and relief that would follow a day like that. 🙏🏻💕
Awesome. I feel now that spring is here, to discard all that is unnecessary. Reborn!
