Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, had a hammer named Mjölnir. Mjölnir was considered a fierce weapon that could level mountains and summon lightning with every blow. In this poetry blog, every Thursday, (Thor’s Day), Mjölnir will forge only song - sing of the mysteries and beauties of the world.

THE TRUTH

Don’t dress it up
in a bear skin coat,

galoshes. Strap it into  
a corset or chaps.

No special garb’s
required. It wants only

to be wading in
a lagoon buck naked

at night, clothes strewn
about the bank.

To be swaddled 
in alabaster waters 

and draped in silver
light. Wading until 

the moon’s milky image
and the body are one.
