There is an elemental darkness to this poem that is very appealing in its mystery. You don't give away any secrets here, to telling effect!

I saw the title and Donald Judd's 100 anodised aluminium sculptures sprung to mind.

Maybe I'm wrong but a nice poem.

There is so much here to be realized.. takes many reads and many dimensions of one's mind! Thank you for the journey and your poem has been mentioned in the Sunday reviews

....much like the subject. By way of a guide and at the risk of ticking off the poet......

100 untitled works in mill aluminum, 1982-1986

At the center of the Chinati Foundation's permanent collection are 100 untitled works in mill aluminum by Donald Judd installed in two former artillery sheds. The size and scale of the buildings determined the nature of the installation, and Judd adapted the buildings specifically for this purpose. He replaced derelict garage doors with long walls of continuous squared and quartered windows which flood the spaces with light. Judd also added a vaulted roof in galvanized iron on top of the original flat roof, thus doubling the buildings' height. The semi-circular ends of the roof vaults were to be made of glass.

Each of the 100 works has the same outer dimensions (41 x 51 x 72 inches), although the interior is unique in every piece. The Lippincott Company of Connecticut fabricated the works from aluminum that was rolled especially for the series by the Reynolds Mill in McCook, Illinois. They were manufactured, shipped, and installed over a four-year period from 1982 through 1986.

I love this poem. A definite five!

...specifically described. I've been to Marfa and the boxes do indeed appear to "float on a flawless plane."

Brings the experience back to mind. Thanks.
