Tok Fyrit (Tok Firit) 19 February 2023

    

    Thank you - Iceland             (THANK YOU ICELAND!)

    A place far off from

    much of the world

    Across dark, lonesome

    Cold, fecund-of-fish seas

    in February                            (CAN YOU FEEL THE COLDNESS?)

    

    They speak the tongues

    and grammars

    of their forefathers from 1,000 years ago

    

    the Great Leifur Erikkson

    -not just Leif, as we read in our childhood

    history books and tomes from 

    the library

    

    Iceland is alive and well

    Tok fyrit, ob se geth, bless bless, and all of it
