I saw a man-shape Within the bone-dome Went to ask who 'twas From the ether-mouth Was told 'twas myself In shape of Mannaz And that it was not quiet But came through in waves These waves can only be seen By the eye-third From the below When the above broke Go stand by the edge The mouth spoke out And separate the words From the noise-stream So many words I saw From earth and the other-world Of the sun, of the Sea Of the Blood and Seed Hindsight into the present The twos of time in harmony The bear dreaming while Hunting prey-flesh while dreaming The sacred knot is tied The mind-knot will hold The shadow bound for ever more Beast and beast, fish and fish I waded out into the stream From both sides The water was space We were time We are time We became again We are once more We will be again
