Cloak of Feathers…

Loki was bored.

*

He wandered up and down

the causeways of Asgard

kicking his heels…

*

…Passing Frigg’s place

Loki heard a familiar sob and sniffle.

*

He entered and Frigg looked up

and then immediately away again

in a vain attempt to hide her distress

from the wily trickster god.

*

“He’s gone again hasn’t he?” asked Loki.

*

“No one seems to know where,” confirmed Frigg.

“The ever wandering wide wanderer,” consoled Loki,

“If you lend me your cloak of feathers,

I could go to look for him,” he suggested,

his bright eyes dancing with mischief.

*

“Try Grid’s place first,” implored Frigg,

“It will not be the first or last time

he has holed up there.”

*

Loki took to the air

in a great, sweeping, arc

and then headed for Jotunheim.
