Odin and his Brothers Created the Earth From a Giant's Corpse

He no longer knows the difference between riot and elation
And these are now the darkest nights -
            sitting in his living room while the sun goes down
            the walls turning orange as the streetlamps fire up outside his
            window.

Later on he eats an apple. The bites resound in his ear
            like he is ripping the earth apart
juices ooze out of the fruit
            like he is demolishing and sucking the world dry.
