Monochrome Tears

from Each Mortal Thing (2023) by Robert Farmer

/

lyrics

Against a plain pale background
The light upon your face
Action, Miss Falconetti, please
Adorned with woven crown
Your eyes imploring god
Tears glister on your cheek

But when I saw you cry
In sorrow and in fear
I could never forget
Those monochrome tears

Light undoes the darkness
The carbon arc ignites
Nitrate shadows start to breathe
Your image ever drawn
On panchromatic film
A ghost upon the silver screen

But when I saw you cry
In sorrow and in fear
I could never forget
Those monochrome tears
