Wing span. Acrylic on paper, 12 x 19,” 2010—

It was a drawing of me as a pieta
& he hung it over his bed as a child.
Now he has some athlete hanging.
They have the same wing span--to fly.

I had a dream of still working in that hell-hole.
Trying to be someone that I am not.

The truth is so beyond what I thought was even possible.
That's why. I kept going back to make sure.
