Weather
Write about what you experienced or heard from people around you and how they experience the weather conditions and the recovery. Write as many as you remember. Word counts do not matter. The format does not matter. If you are interested, then you check my art page for ideas about the tornadoes/recovery project “Destruction” that has been done at the university this year. You will be seeing the portfolio at a gallery space with the artist’s statement and sub-projects that make up the whole project with images. https://lindrawandfound.wixsite.com/lingling-s-projects/single-project If you have questions about my art page or the prompt, message me through the email icon. I respond whenever I can.

Katrina, 2005

Grand ol' lady on the grand ol' river

Water to the north, water to the south

Water to the east, water to the west

Gossamer veils hold it away

Mother nature fires

We dodge the bullet

Only to drown

From failed man-made murals of hubris

Noah is long dead

Saviors are rare in rising waters

Rescue only by ebbing's recession

Back into the wetted word whence it came

The city awaits the emergence of Jonah

Who will come with clefs--

--Alto, treble, tenor, and base

Embouchure applied to his whale's spout

In a water world

Sweet strains are the driest things

With handles to grasp and fix fast

So the songs will continue, sung
