Once rites blot tossed (2017)

 the sisters-bloody took the stallion's pride to toss it midst

a grove if not hang it o'er sap hot doors

were smell not a factor in decent dancehalla root riven

cobblestone floor hauled bluestones great grandmother

was born on bloody proud to have no thing but milk

and honey from breasts dis tipped in wisdom

woven or undone as trails take off tails or make ails

all one fallow knows feeling woe woden the bloody sisters

his daughters mocking the flower of flocks great rising

he cast  where deserves rest in bogs to feed dull snails

keepers of doors only bloody eyed minds born of know

and hung about the skeletal tree just strings

wind pulled or drew tomorrow with

in vicious tender dances fire shown to sif her sisters

eyes shared nine tree times seeds under that many stars

explaining cracks sound antler bone 

illustrations running fish to inlets 

cherub harvested in their bloody rank loincloths 

of wolve furs earned entrail-fast buttoned in gold

from asteroid gifts of thor sif fashioned them threadlike

to amend man a carnival rent in lights bedroom softened

under sheets bird patterned sweet with

a tree root bloomed bee sallied busy the loom

ocean working wodan dockside tallies in cuts on oak

masts with an oar hard as night lost

in the veins of the flower in ice 

the snow of once  






2017
