Nature’s Weather App

Nature’s Weather App
Form: Sicilian Septet

Rising beyond the eastern horizon line
As the red sky shimmers into a new dawn
Like dewy rose petals, the world begins to shine
As the night changes into an early morn
The sky in its redness can only define
That the clouds will gather to adorn
The coming of rain in a shepherd’s sign

Portrait by Louise Gluck

~ JezzieG
Louise Glück 1943-

Portrait
c. 1977

A child draws the outline of a body.
She draws what she can, but it is white all through,
she cannot fill in what she knows is there.
Within the unsupported line, she knows
that life is missing; she has cut
one background from another. Like a child,
she turns to her mother.

And you draw the heart
against the emptiness she has created

Louise Gluck
Born: 22 April 1943, New York, USA
Nationality: American
