for Anthony Etherin
go!
loth wanderer,
wrangled hooter,
lorn
weather-god,
leeward: go north.
retread
(how long?)
nae old regrowth
nor
whorled gate:
leeward, go north.
another
grew old:
the lorn dowager,
the
warlord gone;
the lord wagoner,
the
lard-row gone;
the orange world,
the
oranger wold.
leeward, go north.
lo!
goth wanderer,
hooted wrangler,
elated,
grow horn—
oh! grow antlered,
(oh!
grown altered)
row, tangled hero,
(oh!
tangled rower)
leeward: go north.
how
terra longed
(how golden, terra)
to
harrow legend,
to lead her wrong.
how
terra longed
(how golden, terra):
the
orange world
another red glow.
oh!
gentled arrow,
loathed, regrown,
dart
erelong (how
long?) toward here.
oh!
let danger row
thee, lorn war-god,
regaled
two-horn,
leeward: go north.
oh,
row! let danger
adorn thee; growl,
glow,
ardent hero,
long-eared, wroth:
dart
erelong (how
long?) toward here.
go:
a netherworld
doth glow, nearer...
