From the street,
she sees a hammock affixed
to some bare
elms in a city
park. A how to live
in urban green before
it greens. Bad
poetry never makes good
architecture. Good
architecture makes good
poetry if
the intentional flaw
doesn’t compromise
the structure. She wonders
how tight
those knots are tied.

and your poem is tightly knot, it is wonderful. It is good whether you chose to call it poetry or architecture.

It also says in this about Caryatid so I thought it was out and in the reach of an hand.
