I like to think of gardens as sculpturing of space: a beginning, and a grouping to another level of sculptural experience and use: a total sculpture space experience beyond individual sculptures.

GARDEN (FOR ISAMU NOGUCHI)

a boy is born
of a swimmer
& a poet

he hears nature's voice
in a perfectly split ripened peach
& dictates sounds of a brook

a dead bird cannot scare him
for he sees all
