The Creature Puts on a Shoe with a Flower in Its Hands.

Head held level, gaze fixed forward – without

hesitation.

The left ear, resembling a spiky tail, stretches upwards.

The right receives a flower: its petals grow into the ear, while the beast

holds the stem with the edges of its palms – not touching, allowing it

to grow between them.

A third arm at the side becomes a support: without fingers, only spikes above and below

the elbow.

The other two, simultaneously holding the flower, try to put

a patterned shoe on the raised leg.

The leg is thinly covered with small spikes, tense, straightened.

From its top grows a tail, coiling and stretching in the

opposite direction, ending above the head.

This body is in a moment of balance:

between action and growth,

between support and adornment,

when movement becomes ritual.
