Helluland

Topics: classic

We built bottlecaps off         ship's sides         (soft, cedar bough),         Viking masts         shining thru imagined         Norse seas.         Sporting logs,         (sweet, cedar-wood shavings)         piercing beer hats/silver foil,         grey wraps & burlap,         Atlantic capes,         our twin peaks soared.         New Found Land         (a child's faery shrimp logistics         aide-de-camp simplistics)         marvelled tale         of warm, butter moon         with outpourings around         penknife's blade.         To tame Sutton Hoo,         (I am very close to myself tonight)         bronze copper, cruising wintery water,         Anse aux Meadows,         occasional dirt shack         skraelings,         jagged blade & arrow         backward into time         for Helluland,         yet marooned in the Land         God gave Cain.
