These hands aren’t writing on, they are writing through
Tracing webs
Threading lines
Of members
Of community
Writing bodily narratives in space
Way-finding in the circles of turns and spins and cross steps and undulations
Reaching up for the stories to settle down
With-in the bodies moving through
The dialogue between
Elements of tangible bodies, airy voices, stringy sounds, concrete space, otherly presence, travelling beams
These stories all in this container layered
Skin, pores, nerves, muscles, tendons, veins, water, blood, artery, heart, brains….
We carry the casing of memory
Standing on the supple ridges of my spine
Passed down, girl to mother, mother to girl
Birthed with screams
To announce the arrival of this celestial beings
Joy and smiles at the sight of beauty pure
Untainted yet
A wailing moan for the knowing impressions life will mark
Piercing cry for the journey to be lived
We experience the days
Peeling off conditioned eyes
Seeking light
Away from lies
Threaded and unthreaded paths, we start to weave
We nurture the pregnancy of dreams; a new memory casing to be birth
Loaded with data, all crypted
Coded in the palm lines to be read
An experience yet lived
Homage to time yet experienced
Ways to be made, paths to be forged, calls to be answered, steps to be lived, breaths manifested
The holding of a communal journey in one body living amongst bodies
Today, I way-make with my hands writing through
Tracing webs
Threading lines
Of members
Of community
Writing bodily narratives in space
Way-finding in the circles of turns and spins and cross steps and undulations
Reaching up for the stories to settle down
With-in the bodies moving through
The dialogue between
Elements of tangible bodies, airy voices, stringy sounds, concrete space, otherly presence, travelling beams
We carry the casing of memory
Standing on the supple ridges of my spine
Carrying the grace, wielding the strength of those before me
