Before the Begining

In light of recent events causing a deficit in artistic submissions, here is a piece from a couple months back I did strictly in photoshop.  Its a piece I did for my writing professors poem: Before the Beginning. 

You can listen to the audio and read the poem here: www.hootreview.com/onlineissue…

Before the Beginning
by Rebecca Lauren

My world was made on a rainy day
but no one cared, least of all me
least of all my galoshes.

On a riverbank, Daddy sings The corn is as high
as an elephant’s eye and I believe him because

elephants were born here too.
They come out at night, make
footprints that fill into lakes.

My mother says, Stay away from the mud.
Keep your soles clean.
