OF ANDY G[oldsworthy]
Of loose association
for the place--
a slow decay of the sculpture witnessed every day
now a trace where I've stood many times watching . . .
Decided to make a home for the stone /
you don't know it's so big
gave another fling . . .

Hope this survives transmission as an acrostic half-sonnet because I've yet to be able to transfer Pages from my old computer to its replacement. Back in Poetryetc's archives you'll find six half-sonnets via Andy Goldsworthy's 2005 lecture at the National Gallery of Art. Possibly 2-3 more to revise out of my writing in the dark during his talk two days ago at the same place, which commissioned his still-transgressive work ROOF.
