Wolf-Pilgrim

I walk on two feet

And know fire and steel

My name: Smith of Chains

Suffering much pain,

And mocked, travelled here,

Complaints on deaf ears,

To this place: cold, dark

With blood it is marked

As home of the wolves

To shatter myself full’s

A meal, this my goal,

For brave and noble souls

Which kept beauty, never trading

With the disgusting

Creatures named humans.

An Empty Craw

On a lazy afternoon I strolled

Grasping between fingers a mirrors shard

Heads in cloud, a black raven flew and stole

Precious puzzle fragment, reflection barred

Now I wander without face, lost pilgrim

Searching for the temple of the ‘bony Roost

‘During strange frosts and fists, for chance of singi’g

An offering; Return my other self!

They caw and laugh, toss glass from high above

Gave back my soul, shattered in dozen pieces

Made aware- emptiness gift- of what _ owe

Now _ wander without dread, aware all ceases
