The Mermaidby ~vedica

Digital Art / Other / Fantasy

©2006-2013 ~vedica

I wanted to do something mainly typographical. The poem is "The Mermaid" by the great WB Yeats. The illustration was done by me traditionally with colored pencils. The rest of the stuff was done in Macromedia Fireworks.
The poem reads:
A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness,
That even lovers drown.
-By William Butler Yeats

The horseshoe crab vertebrae
scuttle to break through skin at your touch;
reach out,
a defining shiver.
I see your hands
around the rounded hills of her shoulders.
Scapulae jutting out with the extremity of the bend,
ungraceful,
like a chicken's wings.
And the bands of these dorsal muscles
stand up like wings,
cast shadows in the dimples of the pelvis that she lifts;
wings
that will fold o
