HARVEST

Ratatoskr runs and runs

and runs the lengths of Yggdrasil

the Great Ash the World Tree—


runs the trunks of the Nine Worlds—

deciduous and evergreen—

maple and yew and alder


pine and fir and spruce—

gathering the seeds of plenty

from each incarnation


and each variation—

cone and nut and berry

green and sweet and filled


with summer life

for the fallow days

of winter time
