carrion / Destiny Turner
a very brave face
I wear
my words
a mask
a shadowed trajectory
an ancient curse
my vision is rose colored at just
five letters
and
a pause.
the ropes holding my stomach fall
the only thing that makes my blood bloom
picking petals always
but,
I already know you don't love me
the grave would call my name if I saw you again
the lesson is unfelt over half the time now
Tell me how I got here again?
against my will I am conscious
the path back to before I knew your fingertips
It’s just so long
Destiny Turner is a self-taught artist originally from Brookwood, Alabama. Currently residing in a small Ohio town. Destiny works in multiple mediums - paint, photography, floral, video, poetry, and sculpture.
“I try to reproduce emotions on the deepest level by any means possible.” the artist says.
Stephen Romano Gallery recently wrote of her art - “The lucidness of the materials, the presence of human touch, it’s all very life-affirming. Very biological. An alchemical marriage of the quintessential elements that form life.”
