    Door in the Mountain

    by Jean Valentine

    Never ran this hard through the valley
    never ate so many stars

    I was carrying a dead deer
    tied on to my neck and shoulders

    deer legs hanging in front of me
    heavy on my chest

    People are not wanting
    to let me in

    Door in the mountain
    let me in

    The DVAA (Darwin Visual Arts Association) is holding a Cigar Tin Exhibition for the Members' Show this year. Members take home and alter up to three cigar tins. This one's mine.

    Cigar tin, black and red nail polish, black felt, Madeira holographic thread, iridescent dimensional fabric paint, tulle and black embroidery thread.
