rune carver riven



stone carver stag gored on moss driven floors
his monument unfinished in a glacial mortal blink
fen sunk bog borrowed
anchored in egyptian gold braided tokens
the stag adamant stomping clay skinned bipedal form 
rutting good ground soddy in sacrifice
woden won't mind but
owe hrafnblot under three mantles
carried four ways under one vine
god odin godan goghs to gouda fur goods dogs blood
chiseled in antler his chest demolished
with thunder crack oak smitten fury
one narrow eye losing the canopy life liquidates light
prisms primordial chip crystal runes
to gotland telling mother
bird clergy quicksilver mercy arrows flit
father our craft has sunk dead
roaring rotten slugs easy go working
with raccoons lynx and rat fleshnixxing
and raven gets them later
to mend all nine colors five fires seven warchants
roosting doom dragon night owls creating math 
number tone peace bread hearth son 
splintering shaft of fate gnarling last
thing driven into slab rock
upstood by twelve with mighty hemp ropes
an antler or root or river or sorrow
or ravine thronged in wolves foreign
teeth clouds open the stag moves stage left
snails and bluejays quibble 
over liver politics peer pressure not woden
