It's Still Life

Poetic Form: Tanka 5.7.5.7.7 – st. 42-46 pg 139

What tells of my fate.
How every world of my Nine
is salt and secret.
Say what of Mist-Hel. She dwells,
and lives cold with Dread-Winter.

She’s of Fenrir-Wolf
and Jörmungandr the Serpent.
Misty worlds of dead.
Daughter of Hel and Loki.
Threatening, harsh, and cruel.
