rune carver riven (2017)

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
