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.

VEINS

 

So many bodies

under light.

 

Veins below

and veins above.

 

Entwinings in

and across time.

 

In rock and sea,

moonlight’s mercury,

 

the jade of waves,

the mile-high feathering

 

of gull flight—

or in the flush

 

of flesh and bone,

blood and breath,

 

when shining eyes

together see the sun

 

in branches, buoyed above

the curve of a sleepy river,

 

while under a sign that says:

happiness grows here.
