If Less is More

If less is more,
is nothing most?

Life is a mystery
bromides won’t solve.

So it goes
and comes back

to haunt
the empty house.

Elegance is means
of choice.

Space is to be
avoided.

Address hides
function.

Think in
visible.

Do not
decorate.

A library
with no books.

Barefoot on the lino
walking the woodcuts.
