The day after the eight drawings day I did two drawings related to the feeling in the throat. Here is the first:
And here are the words:
The light is behind it always.
Look at me mommy
What is it?
The water that was good and strong
The water that we admired
Is dead.
Something horrible happened
Is it something in my mommy’s memories?
What I craved
And the light is behind it always
And what I am growing into
Has gotten red and black
As if, as soon as I want to grow
Something hits the glee of growing
What is it?
What is it that is bleeding?
Why do the water have blood and darkness?
I immediately started another drawing. This one was totally different.
Here it is:
And the wording of it:
The apple blooms
It hurts as it does
It has to push away the cold
It has to push through pain
And then it becomes
Beautiful
Soft
Surprising
Huge
Powerful
Free.
This time, unpredictably, it took only two drawings to come to wonder.
