A digital painting in the style of a Baroque religious portrait. Pictured is Gideon Nav from the Locked Tomb Series. She is looking up, wrapped in iridescent white fabric. A single iron fencepost pierces her heart from behind. She wears a crown of fingerbones and forget-me-nots, and there is a halo behind her head. Above her is the hand of Harrowhark Nonagesimus, reaching for her. Harrow's hand is wrapped in a knucklebone rosary. Behind Gideon is a ruined iron fence. The subjects appear to be underwater.ALT

Two Songs of the River by Gregory Orr;

“My wounds close

as soon as they open.

I eat, but

I’m not hungry.”

The River’s Secret by Frances A. Fuller;

“And still she mourned, and still the sullen river

Rolled onward, without heeding her complain–

The cold, dark, ruthless, unrelenting river,

Whose bosom held the mystery of her pain.”
