The Architecture of Circle
When things are made rounded –
like theatres and lighthouses
like bathyspheres
like brand-new schools
like brand-new schools
where corridors lead you
in most gentle persuasion
in most gentle persuasion
like stadia
and Martello towers
and Martello towers
like your hand
cupping what you want to keep –
cupping what you want to keep –
what happens to the spaces that are left?
You and I, we live
in the warm incurvings.
in the warm incurvings.
Those peeled-off places
outside the wall
we do not know.
we do not know.
But can you feel them?
The nettles
The nettles
the ground-down stubs
the choking air?
The space untessellated?
