Literature Text
the earth wears rivers like blankets,
felt grasses bristle on goosebump islands.
all living things deny life
as it fails them in sinking faults.
the lineage of nature coils
the tassels and tentacles
in fruition upon it
and nebula sigh in the dawn.
morning has come and galactic brooks
babble over our kissing lips
and soften their bleeding fissures,
for no blade can cut a loose string
that unravels itself with no tension-
two loose ends connected,
and matter is empty space
that feels firm
and smells of fermentation
and looks like diamonds
and tastes like the comfort of the air after rain
and sounds like the wind as it whips
above and below the bridge
where we all huddle for warmth
alone.
reality will be murdered
at the hands of a clock
and the white face
will not react
to the single blade of grass that whistles
in the void
and sips at its single drop of dew.

In Norse mythology, Ragnarök — typically spelled Ragnarǫk in the handwritten scripts — is a series of future events, including a great battle foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures (including the gods Odin, Thor, Týr, Freyr, Heimdallr, and Loki), the occurrence of various natural disasters, and the subsequent submersion of the world in water. Afterward, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and reborn gods will meet, and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors. Ragnarök is an important event in the Norse canon, and has been the subject of scholarly discourse and theory.
The event is attested primarily in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In the Prose Edda, and a single poem in the Poetic Edda, the event is referred to as Ragnarök or Ragnarøkkr (Old Norse "Fate of the Gods" or "Twilight of the Gods" respectively), a usage popularized by 19th century composer Richard Wagner with the title of the last of his Der Ring des Nibelungen operas, Götterdämmerung (1876).

Oh these images.
I really need to get around to the Prose Edda sometime soon.
