This poem makes me think of Angrboda.

She does everything
~ Stephanie Bennett-Henry

She does everything with passion stained hands.

Looks at the world with burning, fire-lit eyes,

loves with a splintering chaos, deep in her bones

and smiles with a secret mouthful of mischief.

She feels everything all at once or not at all,

with a soul that runs deeper than any hell,

and more intense than any heaven you know.

The world isn’t ready for the havoc in her blood

and the storm on her skin,

but she doesn’t stop for anyone;

And she walks with thunder in her shoes.
