Around the corner - Helheim - The nine realms

Just around the corner

there is confusion

and the land shakes

there are cries

and it is raining

there is angst

and the land is dry

there is hope

and nothing seems to change

there is money

and nothing has a value

there is lust

and there are children disappearing

there is wind

and the three is shaking

there is greed

and the wolf is running free

there is knowledge

and we cannot see the sun

there is freedom

and there is nowhere to go

there is ice melting

and the winter is never-ending.

just around the corner

                there is hell.

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.
