Somewhere betwixt the thickly-lined coils of one man's brain and the deep recesses of his wonderfully dark mind lies a lone isle. And on that isle a beautiful and haunting creature was birthed. A young siren of porcelain skin, gently folded hand, clothed in Victorian dress. A perfect expression of youthful fragility and innocence, and at the same time an emblem of physical betrayal and contradiction.

 

Beached on her rock, she flaunts her compromise--delicately patterned tentacles, heavy and entangled, and hinged by sharply, hooked talons. Products, perhaps, of an evolutionary and necessary defense.

 

Here, on this lone isle, she can find respite and sanctity. Here, she can be championed despite the burden of the anchors she carries--memories, things, people and time--the flotsam and jetsam of life. This is her duality. This is her beauty.

 

...for Ray. Thank you for your wonderfully dark and imaginative mind.
