Freyja's Tears (20/30)
The prompt for day twenty over at NaPoWriMo was to write a kenning poem. Kennings were riddle-like metaphors used in the Norse sagas, basically, ways of calling something not by its actual name, but by a sort of clever, off-kilter description.
She
is the glow of
Grímnir's lip-streams;
a sky-candle
warming a wound-sea.
I live in the
serpent's lair of her voice
which crashes upon my heart
like Ægir's daughters.
Not even the
sleep of the sword
will keep me from her.
