IRIS
[noun]
Human anatomy: (plural: irides or irises) a thin, circular structure in the eye, responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupils and thus the amount of light reaching the retina. “Eye colour” is the colour of the iris, which in humans can be green, blue, or brown. In some cases it can be hazel (a combination of light brown, green and gold), grey, violet, or even pink. In response to the amount of light entering the eye, muscles attached to the iris expand or contract the aperture at the centre of the iris, known as the pupil. The larger the pupil, the more light can enter. The word iris is derived from the Greek goddess of the rainbow, due to the many colours of the iris.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m788hvdie91r25u7yo1_500.jpg)
Grace Bol by Manolo Campion for Gravure Magazine
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?
it answered
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere.

These works have inspired me so much, Alexey uses amazing skill to create beautiful and clever concepts.
she took me back so tenderly,
arranging her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds.
I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed,
nothing between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths
among the branches of the perfect trees.
All night I heard the small kingdoms
breathing around me, the insects,
and the birds who do their work in the darkness.
All night I rose and fell, as if in water,
grappling with a luminous doom. By morning
I had vanished at least a dozen times
into something better.

She wears a pair of cut-off blue denim shorts over black leggings, a pair of partially laced boots, and a grey halter top over a pink bra. She is kneeling between two trees, an arrow nocked and drawn to her hunting bow. A rose is crushed under foot. ]
