The Cable Song by Laryalee Fraser

Cables stretching out and crawling
over ditches, roads and fences;
hanging, monkey-swinging fashion,
on to knotted arms of tangle-footed poles.

Cables delving into tunnels
where the fossils sleep in layers
unaware they're being ravaged
by the hunger for the harvest of their souls.

Cables hiking over mountains
leaving mutilating gouges
and protruding entrails splattered
on the purity of softly shouldered greens.

Cables bulging with the fullness
of a billion flowing memos;
drinking pictures out of orbits,
spitting finely sequenced pellets onto screens.

Cables spliced in all directions,
joining continents and bedrooms,
climbing elevated towers,
keeping tiny heaves of respiration strong.

Cables fusing subtle sensors,
lining thoroughfare and crevice
spreading oscillating fibers
in the ever-growing rhythm of their song.

Saying goodbye....
I've had a really great time here...met some wonderful people and fine writers.
Unfortunately, I have to make choices. I must concentrate on my websites, both my poetry and graphics, and I've just started a Canadian web ring, which I hope will feature top-quality work.
I wrote this poem a while back, and thought I'd share it with you as a 'farewell'....I had such fun writing it! (And that's what poetry should be, right? FUN!)
I will pop in occasionally, just to see what some of my favorite people are up to!
