OUR PERVASIVE FEAR
1
an outer circle
sprouting talons,
an inner cycle
burned dark with fire
fueled by absence,
sparked of void,
and seismic changes
in these nights
2
driven vectors,
no volition,
we are herded
to these zones,
we wait for tides
to shift positions,
strange attractors
these orbits move
3
all at once
the oceans empty,
all at once
the need refills,
hearts once dead
resume their beating
frantic, panicked,
full of dread
4
this scintillating
jewel-like matrix
fools the eye,
slaves the mind;
within motion
an isolation,
within the flow
unseen decline
5
abruptly anguish
tinges sight,
the days are colored
vile shades of doubt,
the core collapses
crushing faith,
leaving naught but
our pervasive fear

By the way ... it looks like there is a way to use that Gizmo service to upload pre-recorded things to the L.J. phone post number. I got a slightly snippy note from the Gizmo help desk about "that's not what it's intended for", but they did tell me that if I set it up as a "broadcast" (but just sending to the one number), I can upload a file (although I think they specified a .wav, which would be huge). I just wish L.J. would make it easier by letting us park audio files in ScrapBook (as a Permanent Account, I get 10gigs of storage in there, which I'd really like to use!).
