Hammer

Smooth
carving
crevices
winding in a symmetrical pattern.

Lacy string,
bumpy and rough,
hanging from his keeper's neck.

Good luck to any man who wears it.

Its power is too great for mortals,
only the fierce and strong-hearted
are ready to wear this charm.

In battle when his heart is strong –
no matter his opponent's size – no matter his enemies' strength
he will always come through.
