spray on, great artist
in the still of night
in the colours of day
splash on the colours of life
and death
the day will reveal all
colours swirl
shapes bleed into one
shape taking shape
new directions
faded suggestions of past ideas
bodies twisted in embrace
the dark and light
dull and bright
the embrace of love and hate
signs of significance
pointers to movement
vibrant
there for a while
covered again
spray on, great artist
the script of wisdom
scribed on hearts of flesh,
hearts of stone
stone hearts
cold surfaces that cry out
crumbling surfaces
held together by the colours
sometimes giving in
weathered
cracked
the noisy street corners
the busy market places
the business of life
in the busyness of life
the bustle of transformation
time
colours dry
time
colours change
time
time to fade
colours fade
lines fade
meaning fades
time
time to glow brighter
or dimmer
spray on great artist
spray on
spray over
layers of meaning
layered with meaning
layers of meaning sprayed over again
the meaning of layers
hidden amongst the crumbling folds
yesterdays shapes overlapped
hidden
forgotten whispers
fading cries, once loud, now distant
making space for the new
layers of layers
coats of many colours
a display for all the peoples
the inarticulate speech of the heart
on canvases of stone
the groanings of life breaking out
cries from dark alleys
secrets in shadow lands
shouts from jagged edges
calls from cold surfaces
spray on great artist
spray over
