Adrift

I wish to lay with ancestors
Alas I know them not

this is a fear
for if I not know them
would they know I?

Life's longship meanders
Upon misted Fens

ghosts echo in haze
ever changing tack
tideless waters so cold
shores of Nastrond close

Never to dance in feast-halls
warmth of forebears embrace

ever fear fangs of Nidhoggr
in vengeance do I unfurl her sail
set ablaze my own ship
set course for the corpse-ripper

And unto Death I scream
"Fuck you"
