In the past I created forlorn characters to tug on the heart strings for the Valentines Season but this year I am using those strings for the web that the Black Widow spins. They are Inspired by Fleetwood Mac’s “Gold Dust Woman” and Diamanda Galas’ “Sporting Life.”

“Did she make you cry

Make you break down

Shatter your illusions of love?

And now tell me, is it over now?

Do you know how to pick up the pieces

And go home? Go home, go home

Pale shadow of a woman...

Black widow...

Pale shadow of a dragon...

Dust woman”
