tree harts

wind horns of four hart darting fourpart hence
over sweeping bows
amidst venerable spans only halting to munch
evergreen grown things
ygdrasil favored to supply abundant
comet flowers tidepools of space
teem starfish with horns three
as dragon dug death from roots long alive justly occupied
forever well filled flush clear water across earths drum
artesian spring carried force
more fierce wrought than mjolnirs big bang
squirrel stirred nutpots
antics frenzy rumor a dare devil toy
from under lady lake
a stag riven hunk of human stone floated from the bog
water spiders rowed time along bank root 
drinking deftly long droughts
a myriad of life 
stone became wind wind became man
man was carved water war owned
sound imprisoned wolves shorn
caged as business
on wind full hungered the eagle juts
carving unfinished sign tones
domes carry cup ygrdraasil as seed
it will be were it was now known nut then
ships chart tenuous passage
as stolen stars scramble fishlike instant
the spore of the seed
on the tip of the horn sings not woe den
