Laufeyarson

A Poem by Graybeard
"

Loki laughs last

"
Beneath the Floor of Storm Hall Loki lies,
for Baldr's death by Narfi's entrails bound,
with serpent's venom dripping 'tween his eyes,
Sigyn's basin pouring out the only sound.
Til Naglfar, steered by Hrymr, sets sails
upon the Midgard Serpent riled seas,
that ship of woe comprised of dead men's nails,
to bring Valhalla's greatest to their knees.
Then Fenris Grey-wolf's gaping jaws full wide
will swallow Odin and the Earth and Sun
as Sons of Muspell over Bifrost ride.
Woe to the land, for Ragnarok's begun.
Then from the Sea of Beasts shall Loki burst
and slake upon the world's last breath his thirst.
