.
. Roll the bones my love - . How does the star's fate fare pray tell? . . Have you spoken to the fishes? . Have you word from the current? . . Roll the bones my love - . So we mightst listen to the feathered whisper, . Pull sound from the down lips of theirs, its plumed and winged flight. . . Have you consorted with the butterfly? . Have you learned of her cocoon? . Her payment on those days o' colored life, . Of her drowning amidst monsoon? . . Roll them, love - . . Throw runes so you mightst catch . The antlered crag of low bravado - . Throw upon the cosmos, . Upon the heavens in theirs sky, . Throw testament upon the spinning loom . And dare its cloven reply. . . Throw them, love, . And we might dance to the tune . Of the parching rot of Yggdrasil, . Of its drinking Urðarbrunnr dry. . . Throw them, so that you with I . Might dis-collar ours, the tethered war, . Upon theirs loathsome, emptied pride - . . Break wine upon the bow of scuppering, . String ours, sails rent, and dis-anchor from the lie. . Throw, so we may go, arm in arm a-wailing wild-thing syn . And thread this thirsting camel through the braying, needle's eye. . . Roll the bones, my love - . Throw feather, and throw stone - . Tip the glass on ruination . And roar your mirth for home. . .
