The Great Beast (The Great Wave off Kanagawa): A Series in Ekphrasis by Ella Yamamura, 14

Post Published May 13, 2022 by Ella Yamamura

The great beast tipped with an army of acid claws it sported a color blue so deep you could fall in and no one would see you sink.

The beast lurked just beside that snow capped mountain the only home it ever knew.

A Tribute to Bobby Hutton
