From the creative mind of an insomniac… a digitally edited 
drawing of mine and the poem that inspired her. She calls herself
Turdy Bird because she’s tired and
feels like shit!

I’ve become like a large
 and wingless bird 
               trapped
 here in this over 
 crowded nest
 too fat to fly anyway
 I’ve considered jumping
 but fear I’d only bounce 
 back, round and heavy
 with sorrow, grief and a
 darkness that ever f e e d s
 these shadows refusing
 to leave, return to me
 my freedom, my wings
