Cranbrook VI: Orpheus Fountain (Milles)

A Song; pure and clean,
anguishes those who sense it
yet are Unhearing
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
Triton Pools at Cranbrook II (master plan: Saarinen) (sculpture: Milles)
Sea serpents follow
one another in pointless
pursuit: anchored thus
Triton Pools at Cranbrook I (master plan: Saarinen) (sculpture: Milles)

Leaves skitter across
an empty pond-bed – Dancing
to Spring’s early Song
