A Giant's Beanstalk
#1
WE ARE THE MYTH THE WORLD CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO FORGET

[Image: jack-and-the-beanstalk.jpg]

"I am Hrimnir, son of Glipnir, son of Heimnir, son of âelpnir,"
"Alfnir, son of Vafnir, son of Mjolnir, son of Folknir, godson of the godson of Great Uniter, Grimnir,
who is son again of the First Blood and Ymir, and so it was written in blood and gut-augur."

"and I am the last of my fashion.
when I look beyond the great cliffs and peaks;
there are my blood, my flesh, but I do not see in them what my Father saw in them
we have lost the savagery of a beast and the strength of a myth that mankind once feared

that Giants are not larger of flesh, but greater in spirit and strength;
that we made no quarter and accepted no equal in any measure
that we have been softened and fattened by city life and indolence

but I do not forget his name.
"
"Scarecrow, Big Bad Wolf;
I did not expect you.
But now I do not write that last fable alone.
I had thought I would die quiet in the night.
My bones ache. I hunger. My body eats itself.
But with you, the moon seems closer in reach.
I will plant my beanstalk, and I will watch it grow.
And one day, I will reach the Moon.
"
