exercise based in metaphor from Robert McDowell's writing workshop 5/1/2016

My Nordic ancestors are stored away in the root cellar of the Great Mother.
Seasoned and prepared for a great final feast. Labeled with heroes names,
But sealed tight by the metal of weapons turned to practical use.

I await Ragnarok, as do they...

When, at last, two again replay our musical finale as their wedding march.
