Tree
Yggdrasil is a home to hanging bones
As trees to singing birds
Yggdrasil
Beneath its hallowed branches
Thick wands of spring tree flesh
Twirl into the finest corkscrews
Suspended from the boughs, Us
Delicate spear leaves
Small and fine
Grow full as finest crops
Green brings life to eyes, that have not seen
The gods congregate there
Spin us round
As they converse
Cup in hand
We need only speak
Of a desire to
Come down
Put our feet upon
~The ground~
And wonder with the gods
Where do the roots
Drink forth from
