was the raven's eye
on the filcher's wing
when the wind was weak
and there were no oarsmen
to guide the glide

when the men of pen
put down their swords
and let their blood dry
inside their veins
instead of on the skin

of untattood bibles
stilled as virgin parchments
writhing from mushin's poppy
like the hooded serpent
eroding walls of satin

hollow soughs purloined

scribblenote:  only the dreams came...

Indeed.  Only the dreams came.
Still, they left a poem behind...

like the sound and flow of this - reads rather mournful - but I shall have to go to my norse dictionary to really understand what it says
