Between Your Skin and the Air

It started as a way of catching myself. 

We all have our secrets, hidden, floating under the surface, always threatening to break through the top thin delicate layer of skin, 

or the ones buried deep, 

ones you have forced your body to grow around, to cover with soft tissue, to forget, 

but not really, 

never really. 

I wanted to strip these layers back. Show myself, see myself, let myself move through this untouched space. To be unafraid of what I'll see and to show it all coming together, 

every ugly, 

hurt, 

compassionate form I can take.

 Letting it all seep through, mould together, combine, and emulsify.

We devour

We nourish

We cry

We mourn

We give space

We hold time

We forgive

We are a moment traced

We are memory
