To Be So Afraid

To Be So Afraid · 4:3

Pale porcelain doll like figure with roses in white hair leaning from behind a giant cream and pink flower on a twisting branch hung with pink bleeding heart blossoms, against a flat teal background. Signed Magpie.

A pale porcelain figure with roses in her white hair leans out from behind an enormous cream and pink flower, as if she grew from the same branch. Bleeding hearts hang in rows from the twisting wood around her, and a single tear sits on her cheek. The background is a flat, quiet teal. The poem behind it says 'the flower that blooms, evidence of presence,' and she is both the flower and the evidence.

Made from a poem.
