Fenrir, the Devouring Wolf

by Ozzy King

wolf sketchI see, in the growing thighs and the

Abyssal jaws of the wolf, whose span

Threatens the comfort of heaven,

Far more than the devouring of Wotan.

In the growing thighs and the

Ever-spanning jaws of the wolf,

As he paces the banks of Ván under

The check of Gleipner, I see the wolf

Devouring all of Midgard.

By the inexplicable methods of mythology,

The wolf sits on the earth to eat the earth

So that a planet may join the right-hand of Týr.

But the hand of Vidar shall never touch the wolf.

The wolf is no trifling symbol; it is the all-eater…

The wolf is the symbol of nothing.
