Shining - Alfheim - The nine realms

Shining

it might be just a dream

a little voice small and fair

a blinding sun inside of you

moving

it might be just a parasite

                               an idea

a voice that it isn’t there

becoming

something at every step

something that you might deny

something that you might follow

growing

it might be just a cloud

                                               expanding

something like a blinding mist

shining

it might be just a maggot

a little bit of light             moving

something that you might ignore.

You can read the post at the Artipeeps webpage here and listen at a reading of this poem.

This poem is part of my online collaboration with Nicky Mortlock´s The Nine Realms project that began on October 2014 and that is inspired by the Norse Sagas (specifically the 9 realms of norse mythology). This project involves near-on 50 Twitter poets, arts, musicians and sculptors, and will run online for 9 months culminating in a poetry, art and music exhibition( and even a Viking boat!) in Hanse House King’s Lynn, Norfolk, UK across the Heritage Open Day weekend, in September 2015.
