three runes: ᛉ ᛈ ᛜ

crow or raven...
let us not get hung up
on details...

follow the river to the
headwaters, branches
to the heartwood,
smoke to hearth

accept ørlǫg
wherever tangled
threads lead

i ride smoke homeward
ash on forehead
etched reindeer bone

symbolisms
ᛉ algiz
ᛈ pertho
ᛜ ingwaz

antlers litter stone
& heartbeat drum

waiting for the sun

through drift & dream

nudging my cairn
"follow me down," says she
steam over water rising

these vagrant bones
cracked & exposed
crow cuts marrow

walk with me
down narrow highways
under the fellstones
under the scree

our blood
runs scarlet
under a midnight sun

a heart within a home
