fjord fallow night (2017)

  

rib riven of seaside oxen driven to death

flank flung on coal bed born beside a black oak

seven seers serene tear severe to bits in bites

ash char snow lettered prehistoric blood scribble spray

ice ballast beard teeters toward keg

fists scabbed wrapped in ointment rags plundered

of southern thrusts plunged draining dawn of sun

slung moon songs hurled breath smoke

under eight pelts four furs six trees three rivers solid mtn sweat

mothers birth men yet cry to scare wolves stiff distant

in dens won by woe found wanting

creel harpoon craft mast listing in mist bygone tomorrow to battle

a silver rattle left and earrings persian glass

time sealed in twelve century slough night tantalizes mead heavy mind

a brace of narwhale ivory mends a leather pillow of a man

old known tree sounds fire speaks seasons secret lines

the fjord mirror draped in loam and foals child chased

her shield resting more tested his spear ready less flaunted

reindeer swim amid star filled lakes glacier gotten

acorn rolls name game the wood script floats off intelligent

cloak unhurried a button waits finger frozen 

sleep steams breath falls not far afield of brows sheltered

three roosters call fallow nights hold over

in goldrimmed henbane pots ice capped from sitting

knot known by woden born the day belongs
