Look Outside.

"Outcast, replied Kohlhaas, clenching his fist, is my word for a man who receives no protection from the law." - - Kleist (via @DeopartureJay)

By Ume Labo.

"Viking Spring

This: barley green as grass
swaying in gusty May;
its clouds of brandished blades.
This: ghost-blurs from the coast,
hoar-brained crows cawing, haar
fingering the halting
hearts and limbs of lambs
willed to life on the hill.

And this: wing-whirr of geese,
wind-arrows in narrow
formation confirming
sea-currents still foment
their baleful heat, hot blood
and gold-greed still breed in
the mind; sea-wolves still found
fine steel in hearts: yours; mine."

--Ian Crockatt in Skald (2009)
