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 twothe w in
