Three Poems
The Norseman’s First Summer
Fok-pykkr, in rás sæti
the leave-gone from water mountain
day, day, day, black-day, ne slæpe,
see dust yellow, push, push, live,
vision, ne boll, kið, geit, geit-punnr, live
tree small, mansize, unstrong
green maker yellow oil and hot, beard
and wine hot. Kið, geit, tree-small
unsnowed, unvile land, fok-punnr
wifmen-light, light wimmen, housers
uncolded, unfat, black, dark-soft
yellow-oil wifmen in this tree-small.
Fok leg-spread by skeið, vǫlvur
in song-lag, ear-turners dream
in day-passion, skeið to edgewater
