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
