#ragnarok
I came to buy four kilos — one last patch, and then enough, I told myself. New faces. Dead eyes. A “wait here” that tasted like metal and regret. Lines on the table— not kindness, just bait for whatever fool walked in breathing. And my pulse whispered, soft but sharp: Wrong house. Wrong men. Wrong night. Then he came in— the goon. Pistol low, morals lower, breath smelling like tomorrow wasn’t promised to either of us. **** product,” I said. **** future.” And I— I slammed their brick into his wall like a prayer nobody sane would say. He raised the iron. And there— right there— the old hunter in me woke, like Fenris rising in my eyes, my gaze going full Ragnarok. I lifted the bag. Met his stare. Said, “Sorry, man… I’m ****** up.” Paid the devil. Walked out alive. Walked out shaking. Walked out knowing I shouldn’t have walked out at all. Four kilos. One gun. One dead man walking. But the one who died— wasn’t me. It was the man I used to be. And he stayed in that room. On that floor. Under that gun. Where I left him.

“Four Kilos”
Tonight I drank from the well of Mímir Saw where we started, Auðumbla, Ymir I watched the Ash tree grow tall and strong I saw it all, the right and the wrong I saw Fenrir, bounded, subdued I heard the last crackle and looked as he moved Loki's last scream, the poison's last drop I saw it all, I saw the Ragnarök!

The well of Mímir
Should we head onwards towards our future? Make the best of what we've got. Or set our sights on new beginnings, And face the ragnarok.

Worlds end.
**The Precursor’s Psalms Book Two Chapters VI- X: Ragnarök A sacred parcel to the soul who looks to ―raptured firmaments for their salvific benison. Se'lah. VI: The Paean of Lovelight (The Paean of Lovelit Life) 1 Every particle in the soil of my epidermis roves for its emanation, Its musicality, vibrating in pulsing fuchsia shockwaves, This melodic energy is the Paean of Lovelit Life. 2 It reverberates the remittance in reminiscence; yes, the Circle of Life breathes through the conduit, it peregrinates The ephemerality, even, the eternity in all entity. (For in us exist dichotomies) 3 In a moment of self-revelation I know naught but the vagary of the self; still, the pain remains, In the benighted truth of epiphany; 4 Yes, even, Upon the Visage of Creation All existence groans in groping For its Nirvanic Pulse, ―like a wraith. 5 Finding meaning in all that I am, all that I see, all there will be, and all that is, I understand the fallacy in knowing, the bane in consciousness: 6 In an instant, one must forget Page | 1 all they have learned, all they feel, all they sense, in the diminution of a moment lest the soul relinquish that which does seamlessly transmit itself through The Streams of Tempus Fugit. VII: The Virescent Masquerade 1 Forsake all sorrows of the morrow, for Beneath the Masquerader’s Virescently Butterfly-Winged Mask, there is a beckoning; 2 O, even amidst foible for which you long to be assoiled, excogitations do roil; A tremulous heart: eventualities do saunter past, present, future, and in communing you examine the finitude & the frailty (Will their Exodus, my Exodus, Come before I am ready?) Of those in the Land of the Living. VIII: Hierarchy of Sacrality 1 Wisdom Is a cosmos, 2 Love, ―Invictus Dei, 3 Power, The Cradle of Cosmogenesis, 4 Justizia, Universal Scales through which Edicts of the Cosmogonist unfurl.

"Brothers will fight one another and **** one another. Cousins will break peace with one another. The world will be a hard place to live in. "…an age of the axe, an age of the sword, an age of storms, an age of wolves. Shields will be cloven." Brothers fought one another and killed one another. Cousins broke peace with one another. The world was a hard place to live in. But this is no battlefield of gods and men Nor triumph over fell beast and the splitting of shields. This is the exploding shell down cobbled streets of old; of thatched roofs ablaze,   the ashen ruin of hearth and abode; The weeping eye of Theotokos in Ragnarǫk’s gaze. Two decades before; football on Christmas morn’. 'Stille Nacht' from the trench, that soothing tune. Giving of gifts and handshakes And smiles in between, When it first dawned upon you: You were brothers.

Ragnarǫk Down Church Street
Look at you. Getting beaten up, Being everyones ***** What have you become? A tired old man A broken god No one remembers the glory No one remembers your help The ravens have left you They travelled south Looking for other victims Victims of fame and glory They tortured you, Tormented you, Played you, Glorified you. And you prevailed, Oh you conquered. You led; You achieved. But you're just tired now, This is part of your plan. Time to go and relieve yourself. Meet your Ragnarok
