giving over

©2023 michael raven

giving over, relinquishing control
is not something that comes easy
but i never had it anyway...

surrender & slumber, inviting
solutions without conditions
letting carrion, hunters &

four winds tear me asunder
until only my bones remain
with bits of skin flapping in

the wind

crow scratchings: ᛇᚹᚠ

untethered from
the old & buried
sending pasts
to dreaming
becoming tree
becoming stone
fog over water
a vagabond soul
without opening
a single door
interpretations of each rune

A couple of minor changes, as you’ve probably noticed… What has been for these pieces, “runepoems”, has become “crow scratchings”. This choice is for reasons aligned with personal goals. Another is that I am no longer directly linking to the individual runes cast for each piece, as the number of follow-through clicks are not frequent enough to justify the time it takes to add them for each poem. The overall appearance of these type of posts will also change as I rework the look. Thank-you for your understanding.

black eyes wide
carrion child
branch bones shake
in wild winds
sever to sap
& poison flow

cleansed, healed

reborn
