I know that abyss –swallowed up as I waspunch-drunk on darkness Bled as I emerged,each reach a scrape –there was release too Revived now, I honourthat passage, recognizethe making of a woman. (Making of a Woman first appeared here, December 2021. Image: self portrait in ink)
Great shot – it is amazing how it can hold on like that. I guess when food is involved, one gets motivated no matter what the species is. 🙂

Nature’s artistry at best. It’s quite cold here – guess that’s how the birds cope.
