Phenomenon of the Image
Drawing of a symbiotic being – a Tiny Little Bird with a Great Big Belly. Ink and art crayon on mixed media art journaling paper. Created on February 5, 2020, in San Diego, California.
Written Reflection
Tiny little bird with a
Great Big Belly
Yawning Open to
Take in everything it can
to relieve to fill
the vacuum inside
to Seal its Sides
so I don’t fly off
into space.
Great Big Belly
Says
Feed Me
Fill Me
Make Me Whole
Make It Stop
Tiny little bird with a
Great Big Belly
Squeezed into a tiny space
Shuttered in on all sides
Pressing inward to
Stay Inside
Bottled Up
Bottled In
Nothing’s going to
leave.
Tiny little bird
says
Help Me
Can’t Breathe
Can’t Move
Nothing
Tiny Little Bird with a Great Big Belly is a Hungry Ghost.
