To Be So Afraid

To Be So Afraid · 1:1

Black wire branches with white silk flowers and hanging strings of pearls in sharp focus, a pale doll in candlelight and a skull blurred behind them, in dusty rose, black and gold. Signed Magpie.

In sharp focus, a tangle of black wire branches holds white silk flowers with pink and yellow centers and long strings of pearls. Behind it, soft and out of reach, a pale doll stands in candlelight with a skull resting near her feet. The whole scene is dusty rose, black and gold, like a shrine someone still tends. The poem behind it says love and grief grow as 'indistinguishable branching vines, twisted together tightly,' and here are the vines, in flower.

Made from a poem.
