A Photograph In The Top-floor Room Of An Old Building — AI Porn Image

A photograph in the top-floor room of an old building at dawn, empty, bare floorboards, one tall window off to the right giving flat grey light. Coming in at the top right corner of the frame is a man's hand and forearm in a dark coat sleeve, and nothing else of him. He holds a plain wooden control cross of two crossed sticks by its centre, tilted hard over to one side and lowered almost to the height of his knee. Five thin pale cords, each no thicker than a shoelace, are tied one to each of the four stick ends and one at the junction, so they leave the cross at five separate points and spread apart as they come down to her. They are strung the way a marionette is strung: to the back of her head at the crown, to each shoulder, and to each knee, each ending in a small tied loop against her skin, with no wrapping anywhere. Because he is holding the cross so low the cords hang in slack curves and carry nothing. She has dropped to her knees on the boards in the lower left of the frame, her knees turned in toward each other and her lower legs splayed out to the sides, her hips sunk down between her heels. Her waist is twisted so that her shoulders face the camera while her hips face away. One shoulder is pulled up higher than the other by its cord and the other has dropped right down, so her collarbones run at a slant. Her head has lolled back and over to one side with her chin up and her throat open, her hair falling back away from her face. Her arms hang dead from her shoulders with the backs of her hands resting on the boards. Close to the lens and out of focus, a crumpled charcoal wool coat crosses the bottom corner. The camera is a little above her, looking down across the room, with everything from the cross to the far wall equally sharp. The whole middle of the picture is empty grey wall on the diagonal between the cross and her. Everything is grey, black and old wood except her skin. Fine grain. In the lower right corner, a small pencil signature: Ziggy
