John Anderson Poet Concrete

Concrete Arch - Pi In the Sky

The humble arch, so simple, so profound, so powerful
                     The arch is Pi in the sky, a curved concrete crescent
                                    Supporting span of bridge or lintel
                          Inspired by rainbow,       waxing and waning moon  
                     Instilled by foot arch,               caterary chain suspended
                Upper segment of circle,                   Pi with curved bowed legs.
          Compress concrete crush                          resolves, eliminates tension.
     Keystone at apex of arch                                       locks stack array of blocks
With Roman arch a symbol,                                            old concept straggling time
