A departure no matter how sweet, never as much as the return An old tongue roots himself again in my mouth Reigns my words as they rise up behind my teeth My lack of you is devout, and your return a worship may be The knots we tie are ancient I hear the cairns at the door to the nine realms whisper the words in my heart You are missing, from me Stones cry out when you hold your tongue Do I know all things now Or only those of little consequence to Odin
