The M42 at Polesworth

Concrete carcass atop carboniferous compression
From nowhere - to somewhere else
In numb humdrum expression

Horns blare, lights flare, fumes belch, blank stare
Elevated in estranged alien disdain
A tear rent stark undressed and bare

Unearthly beasts whine, mutter and mumble
Rough crude fabric will not remain
As transient needs wane pass and crumble

Decay decomposition disintegration looms
The lifeless corpse will be consumed

Version: Passing Through


The concrete carcass lies lifeless
From nowhere to somewhere else
In numb humdrum expression
Aloof in alien disdain
A tear ripped a careless fold

Inert in unchanging indifference
Rough crude fabric will not remain
As transient needs wane pass and crumble

Decaying decomposition looms
This lifeless corpse will be consumed
