Tornado, Shelter from the storm

8/4/2015

 
Picture
Heavy storms moved through Central Massachusetts on my way home today, accompanied by a tornado watch...we took shelter in the Gale Public Library where I saw a statue of Joan of Arc. After drawing her, I saw a small girl watching, so I gave her the drawing.  I hope it makes her want to draw, too.

Tornado

Looking, in this moment,
at the summer landscape
in all it's birdy fullness and firm greenery

a moment: I sit in bright hot sodden sun
in the leveled
chopped green landscape
strewn with splinters and plastic, and still

that moment peaceful

This moment peaceful,

And later, after a tame storm
has ripped spent petals
from the early herbs, this moment.

And that; there. No dripping foliage
but the slightest stir
of questioning birdsong in bare air.

A prism in my fist
stretched to the sun,
I cast a single
synthetic
rainbow.
Today is the last day of early Summer. "Tornado" is a musing on a Buddhist scrap of wisdom that I'm puzzling out.

Unusual bobcat double-register print, and some singles. I heard a pair of Bobkittens three weeks ago about a mile south of here; these prints are from the brook at my house. A few neighbors are concerned with the presence of these amazing animals- I'm hoping they read up and learn that Bobcats can be very beneficial in reducing small mammal populations and indirectly the number of ticks associated with small rodents. Raccoons are far more dangerous to domestic households!
The second shot (below)bob also has a Coyote toe and an Opossum hand.
