Mile 73.9 – Matheson Courthouse

Day 4 of The Salt Lake City Sphere – a five day, five image work set to the words of Neil Peart’s Hemispheres

73.9 Miles – III. Armageddon

The universe divided
As the heart and mind collided
With the people left unguided
For so many troubled years
In a cloud of doubts and fears
Their world was torn asunder into hollow
Hemispheres

Some fought themselves, some fought each other
Most just followed one another
Lost and aimless like their brothers
For their hearts were so unclear
And the truth could not appear
Their spirits were divided into blinded
Hemispheres

Some who did not fight
Brought tales of old to light
My Rocinante sailed by night
On her final flight’
To the heart of Cygnus’ fearsome force
We set our course
Spiraled through that timeless space
To this immortal place
(Peart, Hemispheres, 1978)
