Six of Swords

This piece is from May 2021 and depicts my first past life who lost four of their children to miscarriages and other common ailments. Two survived, but their eyes are focused on the four they've lost.

I often associate this past life with feathers and wings. In this particular image the feathers are almost like a rash or an infection. In this one, they use their wings to protect themselves and their loved ones from a fate they fear is all too present.

The Six of Swords is about leaving painful memories behind, or ridding yourself of that which no longer serves you. It's been years since I've drawn this but I have not addressed these memories quite yet; they are too painful. Drawing this helped in a bit of catharsis, though.

Did you happen to know? Mourning doves are some of the most fascinating birds! 🕊️💫 Known for their soft, sorrowful cooing, these gentle birds are also incredible flyers, reaching speeds of up to 55 mph!

🚀 Mourning doves are monogamous and often mate for life, with both parents sharing the responsibility of raising their young.

💕 These peaceful creatures symbolize love, peace, and hope across many cultures. 🌍✨

I sit inside a draped skeleton

A wooden skeleton

The kind with creaking noises at every lunge

Draped with soft Grey cloth.

I glance at the vipers tongue

Lashing out as sunlight shines down upon it

From the crooked corner.

I see ghosts of lilacs

Echoes of mourning doves

A billowing steam boils over my hands

I inhale the breeze as it catches my neck.

Ticking of a clock serves forth no purpose

Not amidst the echoes of nicotine walls

Not amidst agony washed phantoms

Not amidst whimsical dreams of what is.

I sit a sipping my usual morning coffee

Admiring the forethought I had years ago

Sunbeams lighting up the craters on my cheeks

I still the creaking chair and grin.

[Day 26] Mourning Dove - ナゲキバト

[mincenttheclown]

hi, I'm min, 19 year old nonbinary unfiction creator! im one of the co-creators of the Liminality Mythos and work on a lot of projects in it!

projects im currently working on include:

mourningdove (primary creator/writer) - (yet to be released) A young woman finds an old recording of a lost puppet show from the 80s... but upon looking into it, it seems to have secrets hidden inside it and surrounding the production.

Diary of the Damned (primary creator/writer) - The story of an expecting mother recounting her experience in ending the apocalypse for her future child.

In My Memories (actor/assistant writer) - A digital horror story about a lost Pokémon ripoff with more to it than it seems.

Rain Heart Kawaii Quest (assistant writer/actor) - An interactive ARG Webseries experience that follows a group of sixteen characters trapped in a small Nevada town that seems to reset every now and then, and the local therapist may have something to do with it.

I hope you stick around for a while, I'm mainly cataloging my progress on mourningdove, specifically on making the puppets for it!

If you want to support me financially, heres my kofi! I dont expect anything, but even a dollar would help in furthering my creative endeavors. thank you!!

Lots of birds to see at Dewberry trail today! November 12th 2023. (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada).

A chickadee literally landed on my camera at one point, but it was impossible to get a photo in the moment.
