On The Return of The Old Runic Consonant W







o

alpha glyphs on runes,

the waning of the moon

and other wan-less strings

of timelessness on rocks,

of omniglot-becomings

perched in paperless phonetics,

so-so soft on lips but still no stone

for v amidst the 7th C, its

voiceless bilabial approximants,

its wh, its wen, so swanlessly

rejected (since it looks too much like P)

- so Latin-ized!, so vee! until, from out

of Anglo-Saxon-into-Modern-English,

it rebirths a come-back in the

logocentric view of little Beta-Runic Alphabits

re-wynnicized, re-run and re-writ large

in laptop light for two
