It is Day 808 of the Daily Poems. Our poet Jane Monach sees the work of sculptor Jaume Plensa
(b. 1955, Barcelona) at Yorkshire Sculpture Park 2011.
The takeaway of beauty – after Gertrude Stein’s Hotel François 1er.
Plensa
it was light
faces height space
it was language flowing
it was serene inside past sleeping
it was pleasing a quiet
no move there
in the landscape
dream girls reversed
around showed unity
fibreglass cast iron
trees hugged in crouch
resinous words
stainless steel gazes moving
the takeaway
of beauty
Jane Monach
