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.

HOME

 

I have an appetite in me

that moves like a fish—

 

a salmon swimming

upstream to spawn.

 

The barbed worm, glinting

in the fierce current, is still.

 

The Chinook sees it,

catches itself

 

on the alluring lure.

I wish the bait and the bite

 

weren’t a part of

this long journey home.
