Laying Bare, creating the space for vulnerability.
Accessing the discomfortability:
OF PHYSICAL: Ash Rubbed Into Skin
OF EMOTIONAL: Honest Oration of Desires
OF PSYCHOLOGICAL: To Be Predicated
The offering of care→to access the other, the process of becoming, the self-othering
Allowing the distinctions of body heart and mind to dissolve, to overlap, to become without the self,
these things that are of one are not definitive of one, do not belong to one. It is necessary to lay to waste
the claims that the body, the heart, the mind make, in order that the words might appear on the skin.
1>preparation strip naked
2>position align yourself with some or other some linear plane (such as: lay on the floor or stand against a wall)
3>meditation “these bones are not my own” (10-20 min)
4>oration “I CARE ABOUT YOU” —“I WANT YOU” —“I DESIRE YOU” (etc…unbroken)
5>action your lover takes the ash in their hand, focusing on the sub dermal words surfacing on your skin, they inscribe them as they appear, in the places which they emerge
6>continuation without looking at the words on your body, continue to wear the ashen labels for the remainder of the day/night

-
Learning to write lefty.
And to peck
at the keys like
a poet.
The political consequences of the shift. Minutely felt as they are...
Many thanks to The Rum...
