Cwn Annwn from Mabinogion by between

Wanderers of misery
hunters between spaces
wolf saliva crystalizing
dimensional hunters…
Chasing evil luck
from beyond the worlds.
deep below they lie;
kennels below the caves.

Hounds of the underworld
hunters of misery
from caves they take wing,
white in a black eye.
Savage hungering
storming amid ice
within the qualms
of the clouds

Between eyes
within the stomach’s pit
there they race
across the sky
underneath worlds
in the caves below all caves.
Below where fungus
lights the way
Hidden places
Untold wealth.
Do not disturb the pools
beneath pools,
for that is the very wellspring
of consciousness.
below your body,
take heed of the spirits
of Annwn’s netherworld
Where once the solar hero
switched places,
yes, switched places with Death
himself for a year, and a day.

Above below the core,
The clouds around the heart,
Stalking slavering frigid
Hounds of the underworld.

Once, a man went down there.
To switch places with Death.
He was well rewarded,
For he did not sleep
with Death’s wife.
