Sometimes a glimpse of sky

Sometimes a glimpse of sky

Breaks through

Between the grey monotony of plain buildings

Concrete monoliths

Built as an ego defence,

Alien monsters

Visible from the moon,

Straddling the globe

Steel-toed boots buried

Into the ground

Girded ribs poking out from under

Soundproof-skin

Silence in protrusion

Another giant structure blooming

High against a backdrop

Of cirrus cloud

And ground fog

Dripping with tears

Frozen into solid air

Falling at my feet

Heavy metal

Rainbows in retreat

Chasing shadows

Always on the move

Or be turned to stone

At the first sign of sunlight

Too many dreamers

Live as trolls,

Troglodytes are human

On the inside

Where the sun is a reflection

Of the old world

When the sky stretched

All the way to the ground

And we were lifted

On the wings of dreamers

Above the clouds.

Life is an odyssey

A quest to build Olympus

As a tourist attraction
