narration: the lure of ancient lore derives partly from all the huge gaps in the stories that allow poets to fill in whatever they consider fit. nice.  this poem centers around the mythical figure of Wodan/Odin - often regarded as an older equivalent to Hermes/Mercury (who is supposed to be all youthful) due to their inspired furors - his visit to Mimir‘s well and his two ravens whose sight spans the globe … in the case of this poem, time as well ....

poem / copyright jo richter: 

a double raven
tatooed in his mind
with a beak of dark silver
and a wingspan to blind

one eye pierces
all that has been
the other fills with
what will be seen

no-stone drops sharply
ripples in truth
that pass through the void
in invisible hues

mimir's mead

High up in the north of Ireland once lived a giant; Fionn mac Cumhaill was his name. His castle was perched on the steepest cliff on the coast and its tower was so high that it tickled the clouds on his belly. For the giant, however, it was only three steps over the cliffs down to the water, and even when a storm raged, the foaming surf did not reach beyond his shoulders.

Fionn led a quiet life with his beloved wife Oonagh: Early in the morning he went hunting, during the day he looked after his cattle and in the evening he ate a delicious meal prepared by Oonah by the fire. Occasionally, however, when the sun tickled his beard too warmly or the rain pattered so heavily that even his giant head felt the drops, he felt like arguing. Fionn needed someone with whom he could measure his strength. But there was no one in the whole country who dared to do so, and that annoyed Fionn immensely. What good was it for a man to be the strongest guy in the country if he didn't have anyone who wanted to fight him?

One mild evening, Fionn had had enough of this misery. He stepped outside his castle, raised his voice and shouted so loudly that even the sound of the sea fell silent: "Am I surrounded by nothing but cowardly clucking chickens and worms crawling pathetically on their bellies?  Where are you, warrior, who dares to fight an honest battle with me? Dare to come out of your hole in the ground and stand up to fight Fionn McCumhaill!"

And what the giant had not expected happened: he received an answer!"You call me a pathetic crawling worm, Fionn McCumhaill? Ha! The worm is you, and if you open your mouth any wider, I'll crush you under my thumbnail and throw your guts to the whales!" It was Benandonner, Fionn's Scottish neighbor, whom he sometimes saw walking on the cliffs beyond. Benandonner's words enraged Fionn even more. Did that fellow over there really think he was stronger than Fionn? Furious, he hurled an insult back at him and in no time at all a huge argument was underway.
