Grey Shapes on Concrete Fields
John Mitchell
Twisted arc, comes to life
Apparition once, cold and black design
You may see through lenses bleak
Lines outstretched, drawn bittersweet
Grey shapes on concrete fields
Beauty undermined
Dark waves on iron seas
This world, so divine
Take this frame, spin it round
Watch them fall in dullest sound
You may see in symmetry
Ugly shapes in sharp relief
Grey shapes on concrete fields
Beauty undermined
Dark waves on iron seas
This world, so divine
I believe this emptiness, an innocent in time
In time, in time, this time
Grey shapes on concrete fields
Beauty undermined
Dark waves on iron seas
This world, so divine
Grey shapes
Dark waves
