I plopped down in his chair, was spun around until I was positioned just so,
and after approving his creative process, the ink began to flow.
At each stage, I could feel the image progressing.
And with each rapid-fire pin-prick, I avoided stressing.
A beak, a tail, a feather, & perfect raven claws well-placed,
this bird of portend perched upon the world below my nape.
Intense and surreal,
this to me, is a big deal.
Now, the healing process begins,
and symbolism lies unmistakably therein
Although I'm satisfied, there is a tiny flaw,
that must be accepted; as it is the reality of inked law.
But happy, I am, to symbolize my soul,
in this unique way of forging new goals.
