Great Regulars: So, using Neruda's phrase as a kicking off point,

write a portrait of yourself. If you like, you can write under the working title "Self Portrait as an Animal of Light", but by all means come up with a title of your own. Of course, if you really believe you aren't an animal of light in any way, then you can pitch your self-portrait against that image
