My word for today is dwell.
To dwell is to live in a place.
This word is strange and beautiful, and it feels rooted deep in the earth.
Dwell is also the name of a magazine dedicated to homes and lifestyle.
A dweller is a person who lives in a place, and you usually see this word modified by a place word, for example: desert dwellers are people who live in the desert.
A dwelling is a home.

For seven years I dwelt
ReplyDeletein the loose palace of exile,
playing strange games
with the girls of the island.
Now I have come again
to the land of the fair, & the strong, & the wise.
Brothers & sisters of the pale forest, children of night,
who among you will run with the hunt?
Now night arrives with her purple legion.
Retire now to your tents & to your dreams.
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth.
I want to be ready.
