Vanaheim: ‘ Magic & Wonder’ 4/4′ The Nine Realms- Poems and Writing.
.
In the mornings the rocks glisten
like the sick, the dying
soaked in the night. I rise early
run my hand along the moisture of giant walls –
swelled drops catching yellow light
.
I raise it to my mouth
taste the nothing taste
pure water
I expect salt,
the minerals of my world
.
but remind myself
this is not the way things are
here, the hard forms move slowly
over years. Mostly unreachable
almost untouchable.
.
I don’t like the madness,
the movement makes me sick, my sweat,
nothing, salt in the air, my skin stings.
The taste – tears – dries my mouth to sand. He says it becomes me,
this light. I know. I feel it.
