Captivity Narrative

 

The Shadow Queen’s Daughter. Who is she? What does she do? Why?


The Shadow Queen’s Daughter is the second self of Tara.

An alter ego - of parts and sorts.

In creative expression only; of course.

A character. In a story.

Sentient scientist in disguise. Always transforming, transmuting and transcending.

She tells talk and tales of tattooed women; people in general.


She follows her soul’s calling card; one she shares with Tara.

7’s, spades. Roses with bee’s;

Bedded along the ivies.


The Shadow Queen’s Daughter.

She knows what the boss wants done; to Tara directly and only; she speaks tongue.


Except for perhaps a trusted few more;

Not many actually get a glimpse…in real life; if they do…

Only behind a closed door.


The Shadow Queen’s Daughter.

Daughter of Lesley M. Spaulding.

Part sibling to Lesley’s son.


Abducted and held captive for decades by familial trauma and all the side-effects it brings.

Self marked to tell the history.

Of coming to.

Of healing.

Of thriving.

Of freeing oneself through backwards integration.

*Neuroplastation.


Once diseased and ailed by paying the penance; by containing the energy of her kin; keeping it all within. Likely from shame of someone else’s passed down;

perhaps from her very own time. Either way. Paying, dime - after dime.


Perpetually working on the shadow; intentionally; whatever it takes;

Bringing her darknesses into the loving light for her own sake.


Scolded tongue let loose at last. She writes whatever she wants…alas.


The Shadow Queen’s Daughter is an artist born from the pains of Tara’s past;

A partial entity who contributes to NTT;

through liberty in voice or in written word.

Serving justice in the most unusual of ways.


Poetry and Prose is one of her most typical;

these days.

*Neuroplastation: Tara does charts. The Shadow's Queen's Daughter does arts; she likes to let the words touch, hence, neuroplasticity is what neuroplastation represents.
