The Nibelungenlingenlungenlied Part II


part 2  siegfried has  washed away brundhilde and is compared unfavourabtly to her lovers
 
 
very dark very darkness and joined to the darkness

a faint a follow

what is this who is coming?

herself-

 

 

 

 threw his cap

his cockerel cap of coins

tenfold of stamped aureoles Romanus the last

ruins at the crack

tombs of home Egypt

empty Alexander

 

a constant Christian

started her own fire

 

 like him

Siegfried too was born in a star

under a stable

 

a hero glisters  helmets mounted

wings, horns , boar

ringer come to court

berserker

and the horse you rode in on!

 

like other lovers

courters

 in the words  of Jack Thick

who strode cut giants head eyeless and other missings  dangled at the strap

boasted of  how  "he slept with fifty painted  Picties and  created Scotland "

 

central to poetic themes is that of the failed lover

others

 

enchanted axman huntsman who wished cut her out of fish in a rare dress

passes a worm

part beautiful princess wearing sea monkey crown

who prophesied in  melancholy Piscean that "he would go away  and marry a  more beautiful woman"

gone away

 

 

knight bolder  jumped the smoke  mistaking a  grail happening  castle

rounded all comers in  maiden ties

bare squirrel knuckles

champion

 knocked  down the holy table

  downed at Arthur's  punch bowl kingdom

rounded all comers

beat the  wife

 

me ,my wife, me, my wife, my wife   me  my wife

rolling   carta  lex judex codex  -a husband may have two wives , a wife two husbands  

 

and you ?

 

 

I know everything of the world

have I not walked the whole flat!

for good Germanic reasons

 

stole meal from a mythical beast

stole meat from a mythical beast

killed an Apollo coloured dragon in blue evil

 

when I first  met your mother

Sillilindesigersmutter

and her brother

Siegmond

all father

 

an orphan raised by reduced  people

Smiths and Browns

 

 

remember the  fire

spring wedding

 

Woden is Odin,  Odin is Woden

grandfather frost,

 rag picker

rag wind

sixty foot man to fifty foot woman

consumed a trencher of slaves and chattels

first  of the hero's dooms told in higher birder

 

God speaks

milk  lapper  milk yappet

killed a dwarf in dragon form- little chow chow

cockerel cap   invisible helmet

bored with your hoarding

rubbing rings  peaches  dun apples

 

Rhine gold belongs to Rhine maidens in Rhine water

heads tails

mooning waves

so poor they eat rats  ex cathedra cellar chamber

rats like sock and stockings

a poor song for a good girl

give  them their  gold

 

overturn heads and  tails

 three coins in a fountain  three rhenish plops

with curses

 

 

the wedding guests

Gunnar and Gudrun

Gundrid named  after Grimhild

Hagen ,Hogni  the same brothers

snake red meat swilling in drac boss

 

 

twelve thirteen  bosom cold warriors

random valkyries

substituted for female nudes

battle on the right side

long beard sword dealer

Sven beard sword dealer

 

beckoning with little finger

 pick up the bodies

bring up the bodies

give the dead line

 in medium rich hall

ever eating pig

 

hands under the table

rose game  fingers

telling a north  fortune

"where has Brunhilde been all your life"

she  will kill you

 

Gudrun

she will kill you

willed her

bad stone to build  Englehilderhammer abbey annexe

guilt  in m masses

 

Gunnar is a king

does not kill

whispers "counsellors"

whispers  "turbulent priest"

 

Hagen 

retainer 

chain

your new best bestest  friend  at school

Hagen kills you

settles a  dispute between  geese

Hagen's gold

rolling home

 

draw a yard linen boat

dragon slayer  hole

figurehead

dog of  a Viking

invisible helmet

 

three gods not one

firer, thunderer, other

sunrise unfaithful

yellowdock sweet

 

 wedding guests

 

Ursula and her eleven thousand  virgins

the  beat light cavalry in the world

Ursula bows man strong like a  weavers flail

 

failing virginal emotion

unable to biblically read scriptive and acts

"Helen sails  with her husband duty to siege careless golden Troy "

whores ,oars, horse

 

hel halla arrows

 a fourth shoot breaks the ship and wings

 

out to sea

 

lily pond

 

Brunhilde is not there

downs herself erotically in dyers glen

 

when will it happen

 will it happen 

will it

 

Siegfried  lying on his back

the next sorrow

a wise man

a blind man

 

grown over in certain green

the waldest monument

cut twice in steiner rock

eins Norser and post war English

"died

returned  to claim his wife

died again"

pedants  had eliminated "wife"  and had written "widow"
