The Second World (Free verse) by seebergerb
The red tears of Midgard flood the plains,
wash over grass and turn the seas into fire -
the gods stand by in ordinary clothes and
fill the air with light.
My frozen hands grow cold, my mouth is silent -
the world around me grows still, the wind slows
and the sky is like a stone.
Mutiny spreads her silver wings, and sacrifices
the alms of mortality on the table of innocence
with the pounding of a sceptre.
