It's Still Life

Ragnarök: Found in ‘The Elder or Poetica Edda’ Weavers c. 15

The Words Fell Apart

I found sunlight sleeping
in the body and soul of me.

Við féllum í sundur.

Fairest.
Fullest..
She speaks in soft words.

Við féllum í sundur.

Plainly.
Playing.
This I once felt —

such was the secret I knew.
