My DNA dug deep to discover a touch
of Viking in me, Norse roots, Norway,
Sweden, and Denmark, 17%, enough for me
to claim that seafaring past, grounded in folklore
and romanticized in art and music and stories,
Mountain Trolls trolling the great fjords
and rugged coasts, bold adventurers bound for distant
lands, restless souls taking to the open sea
in their great long boats, under sail or oars pulled,
taking to the sea and returning home again.
