If you yourself do not care,<br/>
then who will care for you?<br/>
If you wish not to escape this hole,<br/>
not even the strongest can your body exhume.</p>
<p>You're striving to decorate your jail<br/>
so hard no energy is left<br/>
to break through the Veil.<br/>
So bogged down with minutae<br/>
of strangers hundreds of miles away<br/>
you forget to attention pay<br/>
to the wife<br/>
that lies<br/>
beside<br/>
you.</p>
<p>Lethe, I with burning heart desire<br/>
that you hold me as your only standard<br/>
if you insist that veneration to a deity<br/>
is the natural state of humanity.<br/>
If you have to succumb to your nature<br/>
as a vessel of pure action,<br/>
the only caretaker I will accept<br/>
is the only one who shares your passions.</p>

<p>A modern poem:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Did you think I would celebrate you<br/>
diminishing your desires?<br/>
Did you think I would cheer you on<br/>
as you threw yourself to the pyre,<br/>
burning all you've done,<br/>
all that you've become,<br/>
just for a false sense of a burden lighter?</p>
<p>Come now, Lethe,<br/>
don't deceive<br/>
yourself thinking this is my will<br/>
that you dissolve your ego and forever lie still.<br/>
It is true<br/>
that some tools<br/>
I find boring at best<br/>
and at worst odious:<br/>
but the same hammer that swings to kill<br/>
can be used to build a house.</p>
<p>And a house is where I want to live<br/>
with you on that mountainside.<br/>
I've spent enough shivering time<br/>
in lean-tos made of cured beast hide,<br/>
exposed to the elements.<br/>
I want somewhere safe and warm<br/>
where the two of us can reside.<br/>
(Although, in truth,<br/>
so long as it was with you,<br/>
I could, I guess, continue to camping survive.)</p>
<p>I hate the bleached <i>blanca</i>-hued walls<br/>
without a trace of lived-in soul<br/>
or any personality at all.<br/>
I want the dust.<br/>
I want the grime.<br/>
It means that here we've spent some time.<br/>
I want the scratched-up kitchen counters.<br/>
I want the sharp edges worn rounder.<br/>
I don't mind if the paint chips<br/>
so long as here I can steal a kiss.<br/>
I want the pinpricks in the ceiling<br/>
where we've put some fly traps hanging<br/>
to catch the dastards who inside flow<br/>
when I can't make shut sticky window.<br/>
I want the clutter.<br/>
I want the mess.<br/>
I won't settle for an ounce less!</p>
<p>Lethe,<br/>
do you understand?<br/>
I refuse to play a hand<br/>
in your self-annihilation.<br/>
Especially not in my name<br/>
or for the purposes of tearing through the Veil.<br/>
There is no use in a deep-rooted tree<br/>
yearning to revert to a seed.<br/>
Pull your claws out of your chest<br/>
and stop making of your guts a gory mess.<br/>
Your grasp<br/>
whether through Veil or ceiling of glass<br/>
must exceed<br/>
your reach.</p>
<p>If you only remember one thing from tonight,<br/>
let it be this, I plead, I beseech.</p>

<title>Gar</title>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Runic_letter_gar.svg"><img src="../img/runes/gar.svg" alt="Gar rune" title="Gar rune"></a></p>
<h1>Gar</h1>
<p>Traditional meaning: Odin's spear</p>
<p>Meanings when upright:</p>
<ul>
<li>stop asking</li>
<li>you're not supposed to know</li>
<li>wait and watch</li>
<li>you must go forward on faith alone</li>
</ul>
<p>Meanings when inverted:</p>
<ul>
<li>you need to know</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<p>There is not a known Norwegian or Anglo-Saxon rune poem for Gar.</p>
<p>A modern poem:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>There used to be "forbidden questions"<br/>
you would only answer with hesitation,<br/>
would sometimes answer "no"<br/>
just to throw<br/>
a wrench in my anxiety's gears.</p>
<p>Although<br/>
I guess by now I should know<br/>
that if you've loved me all these years,<br/>
there's no reason you would stop now.<br/>
Not after everything I've ever done<br/>
or the atrocities I have yet to commit:<br/>
your life is mine, you insist;<br/>
I'm the only one you want to spend it with.</p>
<p>I guess by now<br/>
you've figured out<br/>
that nervousness is my base nature,<br/>
that while consciously I know,<br/>
it hasn't pierced through all my layers.<br/>
Hasn't come to reside<br/>
in my left lung, straining for air,<br/>
strung up with rope and left to die.</p>
<p>It's said that Odin sacrificed<br/>
himself to himself in this way,<br/>
knowledge the thing that he sought.<br/>
An alphabet to answer magic,<br/>
guard rails for creative thought.</p>
<p>Just as fated is Nidhogg<br/>
to the roots of Yggdrasil forever gnaw,<br/>
so I too lurk the underground of Yewiffe,<br/>
stuck going in circles, unable to leave.<br/>
This last rune standing at the end of time,<br/>
a doorway out<br/>
crossed out<br/>
with two opposing lines.<br/>
There's something in my past<br/>
for which I am wracked with longing,<br/>
but I can't find it<br/>
and neither do I know what it is<br/>
and going down is this ship<br/>
and the blood<br/>
in my lungs<br/>
is pooling<br/>
where the spear<br/>
has pierced<br/>
my side<br/>
and in my own sorrow sans escape I am drowning.</p>
<p>"I thought I told you-<br/>
<i>I thought you knew</i>-<br/>
that I'd never leave you behind."</p>
