Shadow Print
Joined at the feet
we are
shapes of each other
cut from the other’s cloth,
holding each other’s forbidden orbit.
You spin about me
as the world circles the sun.
Dance alongside me darkly,
I am your puppeteer.
You: a piece of my sky, stolen
And I: your vessel-self, freely-given.
Able to contain
stories,
light,
darkness,
and walk through doors.
~ from the Book Nine Praise Riddles by Rima Staines, published by Hedgespoken Press in 2018.
Print from original ink on scratchboard drawing.
Printed on 100% recycled 285gsm (card weight) parchment-coloured Context Birch paper for a beautiful quality warm and earthy print. On the back is printed the title and details of the image along with Rima's mark.
The last picture shows you the image most clearly; though the actual paper background is cream/off-white which gives the image an added warmth, as you can see in the first photos.

It will come packed carefully in a compostable non-plastic cornstarch transparent sleeve and a sturdy envelope.
