The Look
The heron's the look of the river.
The
moon's the look of the night.
The
sky's the look of forever.
Snow
is the look of white.
The
bees are the look of the honey.
The
wasp is the look of pain.
The
clown is the look of funny.
Puddles
are the look of rain.
The
whale is the look of the ocean.
The
grave is the look of the dead.
The
wheel is the look of motion.
Blood
is the look of red.
The
rose is the look of the garden.
The
girl is the look of the school.
The
snake is the look of the Gorgon.
Ice
is the look of cool.
The
clouds are the look of the weather.
The
hand is the look of the glove.
The
bird is the look of the feather.
You
are the look of love.
Carol
Ann Duffy
