i blade reshape myself
cutting away pretense 
shaving off expectation
shearing connection
and parting with pasts
claiming new ᛇᛏᛏᛁᚱ
for i am born to these
by the wings i wear
new oaths sworn
at the foot of the tree

Michael Raven has been murdering innocent words since some time in primary school and hasn’t had the decency to stop after he was first published in second grade. During the mid-90s, he was the emcee at a spoken word/open mic salon, "Sweet Immolation", in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. He is deeply interested in the Old Ways and in shamanic traditions.
