More mumbling into the void ...
And, here's another poem/reading ...
AT THE FOCUS POINT OF SPITE
1
drastic arrangements
of movement through time,
complexities twisting
creating textures,
Gordian weaves
obscuring the vectors
underlying patterns
fleshing out these days
2
yet unable
to move beyond
the shackles' hold,
these chains persist,
our isolation
cycles in pasts
whose pain yet calls
as sweeter than these aches
3
we see the failings,
the empty zones
which have no filling,
no matter our intent;
we see the weakness
which spreads like dusk,
sweeping darkness
clear across the globe
4
broken season,
hours collapse
and bring down days,
all is chaos
and crumbled dreams,
a wasted matrix
of what was not
and what might still not be
5
insanity yet eludes,
neither sane nor mad,
native nor alien,
we roll through middle zones
not angel, not demon,
not fully of the human clan,
estranged from all sides
at the focus point of spite

It looks like I just have one more on that diskette, so I'll either have to go digging for other things not posted here (I really do need to get this stuff organized, as it's currently floating between three computers), or actually get some new stuff written!
