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.

AN AGORAPHOBIC WALKS OUT OF AN ARENA...

There is a space within
that terrifies him.

It is a potentiality– 
as large as the Astrodome– 

too enormous to bear.
So he makes the world 

outside his door
his enemy 

and locks himself inside
his ramshackle home

and becomes a shut in
thinking, behind 

his windows and walls  
that he is safe

from all and any potential 
danger, by being a recluse.

Little does he know 
his fear of going out

is really the fear 
of going in.

So the joke’s on him:
his own company

is his confinement,
it the bones on the joke.
