blooming

A black, purple, and red illustration of roses against an abstract background, painted across a page of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". Select words of the original text have been left visible and emphasized to create a new poetic message against the art piece.

By Devan Marino

blooming active in health,

to see the corpse

fainted, restored

dearest Victor;

We are all unhappy;

thoughts of vengeance
Enter the house of
mourning,

  • Next occupied by exploded systems
  • Previous the moon’s beams
