great light, and a figure to project it on

Grim expression - she looks like a school ma'am from yesteryear. (I can remember my teacher rode a bike to school, she got her clothing caught in the spokes...)

Fly

I have been cruel to a fat pigeon
Because he would not fly
All he wanted was to live like a friendly old man

He had let himself become a wreck filthy and confiding
Wild for his food beating the cat off the garbage
Ignoring his mate perpetually snotty at the beak
Smelling waddling having to be
Carried up the ladder at night content

Fly I said throwing him into the air
But he would drop and run back expecting to be fed
I said it again and again throwing him up
As he got worse
He let himself be picked up every time
Until I found him in the dovecote dead
Of the needless efforts

So that is what I am

Pondering his eye that could not
Conceive that I was a creature to run from

I who have always believed too much in words

maybe not... it looks hungry

Looks like an outtake from 'Base of a Tree'.

Comment by Teafran:
Certainly meets the challenge criteria, but I can't help thinking that a little cropping off the top would have been a better choice displaying three steps rather than the four. Still, it certainly is minimalist.
