dew drenched raven flight
dawn sprung from salt cold longboats
follow the sky path
I actually wrote this one on the 28th, but it was dawn as I was dropping off D at the airport, so it was so early in my mind it counts as one for the 27th! I saw the silhouette of a crow flying. I thought of the Vikings, how they used ravens to help them find land. They’d release one from their longboat, if it didn’t see land from its high vantage, it would go back to the ship, but if it did, it would fly direct to it. The vikings would then follow the path the raven had laid for them.
