A standing stone,
Long and lone ;
Building blocks,
A slab on some rocks ;
Arc and pi :
A shadow lullaby .

The houses in precession :
An equinox propylon
For a promenade through the
Doric storied collonnade,
Public square and gridded streets
Below the balanced temples—

Post and lintle,
Rocks and sea

Come to be :
Buildings Roman .

Monolithic obelisk
Arching triumphant | concrete |
Veering into civil engineering :
A liberation from
Rectilinear cells,
Freed from gaol into the sprawl .

Roam the dancehalls—
Seven hills under
The starry dome .
