STEALING FIRE FROM HEAVEN
&
TAKING CANDY FROM A ONE-EYED STRANGER
 

I
 

ASKR YGGR-DRASILL
 

From you I hung
9 days of flesh & sea
Torn by ice & wind.

I asked Why I came to this?
Was coiling Ash
Not strong enough
Now to be undone ?
Knot to loosen
Slip from naught?

Nine days to still Emptiness
As the great rune-storm descends
To fill all wounds of Void and flesh
With the wisdom of trees
Was I ever more Awake
Downside up
To You?

One Eye
The wound of wisdom
Woden sees

One Eye
Destroys Illusion now
Om. Shivayu Hum
 

One Eye
whose ingenious deed
sucks seed and spawns

A secret name
beyond & thru
A secret door:
To you

Fire stolen from above…

Atum Completed One
On this currency of now
On the Bornless One
… Pan-kometic stream…

To now merge
These waters of return
Thick with salmon
Mouth to tail
From western sea
Now
Opens now
This secret door
Whose key also
 Is Oghams rune
A secret stolen
As flesh so torn
By the roar of
 Raven, sea and wind
 
 

II

To a place in a land
Once Giants ruled
I froze suspense:

I listened and learned
From a Voice whose song was Death
Whose war was fought by trees.

These nine eternal days of
Nameless time now pass
Nothing remains of Me
Yet
Thru void and sleep
Mistletoe creeps
Up the branches
Of another Worlds tree

To a place in a land
gods and hermits know
Turned inward out
Upsized down
One I
Waits and watches
Days without Count
This moment spent
Alone with the wind
The trees whose voices
Have stolen fire
Celebrate an Eternity
Of You.
