Bird's Eye View by Joseh Edwards with Response by Jennifer Acampora

"Bird's Eye View" (32x48 inches, mixed media)

Ellipsis

Today I am a cat
sleek-eyed and lazy.
It is Sunday. I am not thinking of anything.

If it were Saturday
or even  Friday. I'd take
a walk read a book or write a while.

But it is not.
It is Sunday and I am
the cat who ate the bird in its cage
curling on my back on the sofa in the sun.

Another older piece, from a series of paintings in an 'Andean' palette (pinks next to oranges next to greens next to blues... you get the idea).
