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.

WISHBONE

I feel 
divided.

Half of me 
is wounded
off-balance
tenuous.
At risk.
Lost in 
the stuff of
flesh and bone
Ungrounded.

The other half 
is healthy
a healer
strong.
In full stride. 
Lead by visions
by spirit.
Is rooted to
the earth, the elements 
and soul.

I try to walk 
a straight line
in this body 
of mine
but feel like
 a wishbone
ready to split
in two.

What is the wish
I carry
I wonder?
