Dead man naked they shall be one With the man in the wind and the west moon; When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone, They shall have stars at elbow and foot; Though they go mad they shall be sane, Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; Though lovers be lost love shall not; And death shall have no dominion.   And death shall have no dominion. Under the windings of the sea They lying long shall not die windily; Twisting on racks when sinews give way, Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break; Faith in their hands shall snap in two, And the unicorn evils run them through; Split all ends up they shan't crack; And death shall have no dominion.   And death shall have no dominion. No more may gulls cry at their ears Or waves break loud on the seashores; Where blew a flower may a flower no more Lift its head to the blows of the rain; Though they be mad and dead as nails, Heads of the characters hammer through daisies; Break in the sun till the sun breaks down, And death shall have no dominion. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57968a56d2b857facb702ab5/57e385b5c534a5b6fa6f7f2e/59adcf83a9db093b3b1f5521/1504564189420/IMG_3043%2B%281%29.jpg Past Work - Of petals from some magic rose This piece is inspired by a soft rising up from the ashes, the silent sister of the phoenix, if you will.

These were days when my heart was volcanic As the scoriac rivers that roll— As the lavas that restlessly roll Their sulphurous currents down Yaanek, In the ultimate climes of the Pole— That groan as they roll down Mount Yaanek, In the realms of the Boreal Pole.   Our talk had been serious and sober, But our thoughts they were palsied and sere— Our memories were treacherous and sere; For we knew not the month was October, And we marked not the night of the year— (Ah, night of all nights in the year!) We noted not the dim lake of Auber, (Though once we had journeyed down here) We remembered not the dank tarn of Auber, Nor the ghoul-haunted woodland of Weir.   And now, as the night was senescent, And star-dials pointed to morn— As the star-dials hinted of morn— At the end of our path a liquescent And nebulous lustre was born, Out of which a miraculous crescent Arose with a duplicate horn— Astarte's bediamonded crescent, Distinct with its duplicate horn.   And I said—"She is warmer than Dian; She rolls through an ether of sighs— She revels in a region of sighs. She has seen that the tears are not dry on These cheeks where the worm never dies, And has come past the stars of the Lion, To point us the path to the skies— To the Lethean peace of the skies— Come up, in despite of the Lion, To shine on us with her bright eyes— Come up through the lair of the Lion, With love in her luminous eyes."   But Psyche, uplifting her finger, Said—"Sadly this star I mistrust— Her pallor I strangely mistrust— Ah, hasten! ah, let us not linger! Ah, fly!—let us fly!—for we must." In terror she spoke; letting sink her Wings till they trailed in the dust— In agony sobbed; letting sink her Plumes till they trailed in the dust— Till they sorrowfully trailed in the dust.   I replied—"This is nothing but dreaming. Let us on by this tremulous light! Let us bathe in this crystalline light! Its Sybilic splendor is beaming With Hope and in Beauty to-night— See!—it flickers up the sky through the night! Ah, we safely may trust to its gleaming, And be sure it will lead us aright— We safely may trust to a gleaming That cannot but guide us aright Since it flickers up to Heaven through the night."   Thus I pacified Psyche and kissed her, And tempted her out of her gloom— And conquered her scruples and gloom; And we passed to the end of the vista— But were stopped by the door of a tomb— By the door of a legended tomb: And I said—"What is written, sweet sister, On the door of this legended tomb?" She replied—"Ulalume—Ulalume!— 'Tis the vault of thy lost Ulalume!"   Then my heart it grew ashen and sober As the leaves that were crispèd and sere— As the leaves that were withering and sere, And I cried—"It was surely October, On this very night of last year, That I journeyed—I journeyed down here!— That I brought a dread burden down here— On this night of all nights in the year, Ah, what demon has tempted me here? Well I know, now, this dim lake of Auber— This misty mid region of Weir:— Well I know, now, this dank tarn of Auber— This ghoul-haunted woodland of Weir."   Said we, then—the two, then—"Ah, can it Have been that the woodlandish ghouls— The pitiful, the merciful ghouls, To bar up our way and to ban it From the secret that lies in these wolds— From the thing that lies hidden in these wolds— Had drawn up the spectre of a planet From the limbo of lunary souls— This sinfully scintillant planet From the Hell of the planetary souls?" https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57968a56d2b857facb702ab5/57e385b5c534a5b6fa6f7f2e/59adcb7cbe42d663bf322b42/1504564161301/IMG_3048%2B%281%29.jpg Past Work - Into a Clutter of Trite Jewels This piece is inspired by our society's unrealistic demands of outward perfection ironically failing to cover up the very darkness we are made to believe we must hide. The name of this weaving is taken directly from a poem by E. E. Cummings. 10 1/2" x 14" Made from lambswool, cotton, roving, pyrite, and polyester. It hangs on a hand-sanded and stained wooden dowel. Note: the fringe on this weaving is made of 100% polyester, an unnatural material used both for aesthetics and to highlight the theme and inspiration of this piece. It is also extremely flammable, so keep this away from an open flame, like a candle.   Spring 5 by E. E.

THE PARTICIPATION OF SWEEPING MICRO AGGRESSIONS UNDER THE RUG, ALLOWING MY PAIN, ANGER, RESENTMENT, AND HEARTBREAK TO PILE UP AND BOIL BENEATH THE SURFACE. Made with 100% natural fibers consisting of fine highland wool, alpaca, linen, and targhee wool. It hangs on a hand-sanded wooden dowel. This collection is inspired by the examination of fresh, gaping wounds. The tearing open of old scars. The deterioration caused by keeping secrets for others, silence, gaslighting, abandonment. The healing powers of shedding light on darkness and the transformative effects of recovery. It is a representation of the evolution from separation and grief to restoration and healing. http://thewinterphoenix.com/home daily 1.0 2020-10-28
