Day 252

Free interpretation of Where the wild roses grow by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

IMG_5775.JPG

On the last day, I took her where the wild roses grow
She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, “All beauty must die”
And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

“Who is your style inspiration?”
Me: “Silent movie stars such as Clara Bow, the Sufragette movement (both politically and aestically), and the edwardian and victorian eras.”
