In all honesty, she doesn't look weak.
Indeed, she does look remarkably fit
Might I suggest one of the fine attorneys from Dewey, Cheatham and Howe's Jerusalem office?
What,
This one?
In all honesty, she doesn't look weak.

For those using translators this law firm is pronounced 'Do we cheat them and how!"In all honesty, she doesn't look weak.

Perfect - thanks, Jedakk! That was 100% the effect intended!Great job, Wragg! In every verse, there's "they," the ones hungry for blood, for screams and agony. Someone else to transfer their own pain onto, perhaps? To make them feel proud, invincible, as opposed to weak and helpless?
And then there's "I" and "me" - the one who is the target of all of their wrath, who receives all of the abuse that accompanies and is part of death by crucifixion. While they howl for her blood, she is the one who is condemned, whipped, carries her cross, and has nails driven through her wrists and feet. In every case, she's set apart, and you captured that well.
The whole point of Crucificateur's picture-story is that she's giving herself up to be crucified voluntarily, as 'the gift',
she does indeed remain outwardly calm, even ecstatic, throughout -
but that's not to say she isn't experiencing inwardly all the shame and fear Wragg's so vividly conveying
She's doing a wonderful job hiding it!The whole point of Crucificateur's picture-story is that she's giving herself up to be crucified voluntarily, as 'the gift',

All that day I fight my cross
Until I see the dark’ning sky
I know my battle’s almost lost
And
I’m the one soon to die.

Thanks, Repertor, and everyone else for the encouragement!Wonderful poetry, Wragg. It perfectly matches Crucificateur's artwork and adds an emotional dimension to it that can hardly be achieved by images alone. A great idea of yours. Crucificateur's creations certainly deserve it.
Nice pictures, Crucificateur - thank you!Nice poem Wragg
Thank you
Crucificateur
