Letter to my friend, Paula

I have been enjoying your post on Gaudi. So organic and wild--to enter his buildings would make me feel I was in a surreal rainforest.

I've been looking at a very different sort of construction--Santiago Calatrava's bridges--and wonder if you got to see his communication tower when you were in Barcelona?

Carol, who likes the web but would prefer to see things in real space.

Notes for a poem

Notes for a poem

1.

Lechon asado

Cuban music

lobster boat docked by the mangroves

homemade cabin, painted white a hundred times--

and what it means to me--this figment of my poem

this source of a living to the lobster man

Brown,

did you forget to cut the wood around

the stained glass windows

and do you know an electrician

with an aesthetic sense

to hang the lamps

and would you hang the vertical blinds
