Lifeguard stand at Metro Beach in the off-season

Lifeguard stand at Metro Beach

Taut, empty platform

at attention through winter

awaits a sentry

Swooping form pierces

piloti touch earth

Concessions Building at Stoney Creek Metro Park

The sun seems to buzz;

tight noon shadows paint the ground

with cool refreshment

Garden Gate (northern michigan)

Open gate beckons;

a foreign land awaits; now;

just beyond the pale

Center for the Arts

Fiercely stalwart face

smacked against incessant blue

holds the earth to sky

Meyer May House II (FL Wright)

Transparent layer;

design upon design; viewed

as icon upon icon

Meyer May House I (FL Wright)

Light squeaks through squares of

glittering glass;  unfolding

against the ceiling
