Possibly for the new poetry project?
Arc
The "arc" of architecture
is all
and nothing.
The little or the big
is design demolished;
yet a brick among
bricks to be used.
Construction is not easy
nor is design.
The mote hardly seen
is significant.
The "arc" begins
and ends
in architecture.
Oh, the thrust of a curve!
-- Harriet Zinnes
Drawing on the Wall (Architecture) or Diminishment
For the complete circle,
the hairpin turn,
the wherewithal
of space
becoming a line, a figure,
a circumambulatory image
resting on canvas,
no longer a mark made
but a mark in stasis,
there is disaster:
the whatever that is
that remains
without the maker's restlessness,
has life only in other's eyes,
itself a dormant mass
of thin configuration.
Whatever is there
lies on itself,
a past configuration,
merely lingering.
-- Harriet Zinnes
