Juanita Pöhl 

Australian Rain

Made entirely out of wire, the figure dances with an umbrella on the Australian continent.

She is rain personified and her dance extinguishes the fire at her feet.

AUSTRALIAN RAIN

ag&j pöhl

​

crumpled country admitted

E.R.: Southern Seas

diagnosis: dehydration

prognosis: cremation

​

a transfusion for salvation

she floods the veins

of devastation

in cracked riverbeds

​

she tramples fear underfoot

her fame flashes far off

she echoes whispers of faith

she fills, she floods, she loves

​

she’s the dance nature desires

she’s the pendulum rhythm

that nature requires

to tiptoe, to drum

​

heaven

come down

down under

our skin and deliver and

fill up the tank to the top

​

she is

a gift, our gain

she is

Australian Rain
