Saga Moments
A tired man drops
his stringless bow, silently,
and picks up his sword.
-=-
An old woman prays
by the fjord for forgiveness
from him she loved most.
-=-
Quick, like Skarphedin
sliding across the river
with axe held ready.
-=-
The chieftain watches
his household gods wash ashore
in a smoky bay.
-=-
A solitary man
on a hill, wrapped in a cloak,
evaluates gods.
-=-
Behind two women
long cloaks brush over the snow,
leaving a trail.
