“IMPERFECTION IS PERFECTION”
Isamu Noguchi, Sculptor
Who are you?
Where do you belong?
Stand alone isolate in life
minimize your mass
expand your space
Earth’s life-blood
oozing from ‘belly-buttoned’ rock
trickling away through stony space
fountaining from pools
raining from man-made boxes cylinders spheres
alive with colour in the dark

PLAYGROUNDS
Black stone sculpted slides
Stone shapes
to climb to touch to see
Concave slide-walled sand-pit
children scaling sliding
making the rim by steps alone
Absorb the beauty
as they grow
as they play
Sculpture alive with colour in the light
minimize the mass
expand the space
* * *
MIAMI, USA
Clear the land
demolish old structures blocking views
Sprinkle with objets: sculptures benches shelters
straight paths through lawn shrubs trees
Circular ponds
broken by fountaining jets gushes sprays
Stand back view from above
“The park is the sculpture”
Stand alone isolate in life
minimize the mass
expand the space

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL
Stone-walled hills
arise in stony landscape
Climb the paths
confront the forms sculpted there
face to face
they survey you
you survey them
Earth’s life-blood
oozing from ‘belly-buttoned’ rock
trickling away through stony space
* * *
MURE, JAPAN
Samurai home
sits against cloven hill
stone steps to
stone-walled gravel-path to
Mountains behind hills
behind round boulder mound
Stand alone isolate in life
minimize the mass
expand the space
