Can't promise I'll finish for the deadline (unless the lovely Icon sees fit to grant us more time!) but here's an initial sketch, trying to use what i've learned from a recent Sargent copy about edges. Based on the song Behold! The Night Mare by Samshing Pumpkins:
I've faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
Appease you
The wind blows and I know
I can't go on, digging roses from your grave
To linger on, beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep
And whirlpools sleep, you'll find me
The coarse tide reflects sky
And the night mare rides on, and the night mare rides on
With a december black psalm
And the night mare rides on
What I fear is lost here
The wind blows and I know
Edit: figured I'd add a quick wip to this post rather than add another! Liking how this is coming on
