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 FORCE FIELD

Always on, keeping
threat at bay,
usual suspects
at arms length,
yet never calling
attention to itself.

Like a lie that masks
the truth, a yes
that hides a no,
it is there
out in the open
yet invisible.

A feigned interest
that conceals fear.
An intimacy 
that baits the trap.
A diffidence
that snaps it shut. 
Avoidance that tases
like love.
