violent fantasy overrules the heart

people's desperation cuts off all possibility


and as the world we've known crumbles around us

so the rage reaches out to rip every strand


that would bind us to a thrown rope of rescue

welcome to the time we've feared


and welcome to the emptiness rising behind it

that will gather all we lost in our passing...
