STARTING A NEW SEASON "The MotherBuilders"

This is a poem by Aad de Gids in an international feminist mode in view of a year that has been pretty tough.  But no laments.  Let us build.

the motherbuildings

in love with the poem and my phantasy over an identical
gold skyscraper in every great city of the world will now
hold,not eversomuch divisions of the "united nations" but
the "motherbuildings". here the mothers and wise women
congregate about the world of their children.

if without masculin unilinear rationality instead patches
of paratactic momentaneous flowing naturalist ideas of
energetic streams,connections,microvoltage sensibilities
rise up as mist out of the tokyo-kyoto pond we gather our
feminised future with lessening warlevels probable.

out of the windowpanes of the elastane-rose gilded glass
of the 63d and 88th floor we look out onto magnificent
effervescent vistas of those cities of the world and it
is not "no men allowed" but these are the motherbuildings
you know? something sacral in zaha hadid architexture.

the apertures of which' highrise towers yet dynamic as
zaha has done before like kazuyo sejima and when merged
this feminine duo make each time identical gilded towers
sleeking up the skyline of those international cities
along with the motherly undercurrent of context.
