an intimate stranger stood aside this road
coal cloaked bronze bonfires
signaling spaces were once eyes
in ruffled camouflage silence escaped
clothed as nomadic woman
her kajal mouth moving
once swan necked moon
graced grave formations
in a galaxy other
older than poesy
I virago, I Freya
staff keeper thread weaver
a name was given
from mine ears
Tuonela herding abide
incarnated stars
totemic maiden
I stand vigil
crib
and
crown
me
sing kuru chant
my initials
death spelled
peel wisdom
from mine eyelids
beloved Vanir
we lay at Earths crust
wading through
the high grass
diadems from dew
frocks of late frost
return
Love is
the only way
to remember
