I am the Fraxinus excelsior, a tree
known as Ash or Yggdrasil
I connect the nine worlds
the center of din is me
Branches reach out to the heavens, three taps
support, they stretch to the wells
and creatures reside in me:
I name dragon, eagle, and stags
I am full of life
life is full of me
I am the Fraxinus excelsior, a tree
Till doom upon my leaves
a chainsaw tackled those roots, my leg
I crave, I am in pain
dying by the full moon
I am the Fraxinus excelsior, the tree
of death
Snap, crack…
