The Bank Nightclub (W. Kessler 1961)

Swooping form pierces

the sky, waves along clouds; while

piloti touch earth

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

Cranbrook VI: Orpheus Fountain (Milles)

A Song; pure and clean,

anguishes those who sense it

yet are Unhearing

Jay Pritzker Pavilion II (Gehry)

Stage curtain peeled back;

an interlaced grid defines

the sky for this night

Cranbrook V: Triton Fountain and Art Museum Peristyle (master plan: Saarinen) (sculpture: Milles)

Even Nature yields;

Winter’s nod to Form awaits

Summer’s wild blooms

Cranbrook IV: Orpheus Fountain (Milles)

Figures strain forward;

an exquisite aria

pleads for attention
