douglas scotney - Emu Dreaming

To build up my esteem,
be admired,
envied,
I thought I'd put all my talent for:

Observation
Practice
Understanding
Dreaming

into a painting
and a clue inspired by it...

...with a bit of bloody humour.

As it turned out,
I didn't need the first three.

An emu ran across my page
and left the pointed bloody clue:
where the hell you're bloody from
you're going bloody to.
