Splintered Land:Bodyscape

2017
Bodies fallen,
Limbs entwined.
Splintered beings,
Connected through the pain.
Gravity pulls me into you,
Flesh filling the spaces in between.
I carry the splits in the surface with me
And you leave your mark for body to remember.
Body as battery, as storage and receiver.
Body as fleshy imprint, as intervention and witness the senses.
