‘3 Second Warning’ – Faroe Islands by Gavin Hardcastle – Fototripper https://flic.kr/p/29dJjBv
A poem for Trans Day of Remembrance about Manannán as psychopomp:
He guides us on, on to Home
in a little boat that knows the way,
his hand upon our shoulders firm
to comfort us always and ever.He guides us on, on to Home
with a sword raised to the stars
revealing the truth they tried to hide
to show us always and ever.He guides us on, on to home
as a cloak of mist wraps about the ship
shrouding us from the cold and cruel
to protect us always and ever.
“From that time on, I basked in the Poem of the Sea,
A milk-white suspension of stars that devours
Raw azures. Through it drowned men
Fall like bleached driftwood, heavy with trance.”— Rimbaud, Drunken Boat (via typewriterjazz)
