Ode to Heilung

prehistoric findings have indicated that proto Germanic
was an actual official language though not of words
Sound was a first language perhaps elementally reflection
shaping reshaping like stone mason hands each rock
 
o p e n i n g
 
hearth
heart
dearth
 
an open cairn where I see the musk moist  
in garments beholding nearing night
I sit sink beguiled I listen, Earth o Earth
 
in foster waters
gestating narcoleptic moon
 
surrounded by balm opus
deepening each pore
alone I am not
 
within an asteroid
amplified
heathen
history

Author's Note
some of my favorite music is ceremonial music, Heilung have an amazing style though they dont sing in English, they sing in all kinds of old languages, all their work, the songs, the costumes , instruments its all based on historical findings, its well arranged and thought of, they have amazing choirs and percussionists. Going to see them in  Oslo, March 2025.
