The Willow’s Lament is a haunting digital download that pairs the raw confessional depth of poetry with the symbolic resonance of illustration.

This set features:

• Binds — a poem by Kiana Jimenez, unraveling the illusion of freedom, the weight of invisible chains, and the quiet persistence of hope amidst despair.

• Willow — an illustration by Dave White (May 12, 2024), where the cascading branches of a weeping willow stand as both shelter and shroud, embodying resilience and sorrow entwined.

Together, they create a meditation on resilience and captivity, sorrow and endurance, illusion and truth. Like the willow, the speaker bends but does not break — sorrow becomes song, and even in silence, there is lament.

This digital edition includes:

• High-resolution side-by-side poem & illustration

• Instant download (no shipping required)

• A collectible pairing of words and art for lovers of gothic literature, symbolic illustration, and emotive storytelling
