'My Body Remembers' - Pencil, biro and oils

Pencil, biro pen and oils
Close-up shot
"I still get the body memories
In my heart and writing hand, until
I'm sick, sour-sweet, crushed
Underneath the stitches I didn't need - it's not a wound
It's what I need to breathe

Because 
I am done with feeling guilty
I don't need sutures.
My body remembers
Because seeds were planted in my skin that day
And it took them this long to germinate

My fallow wounds were built
For beauty and honesty
My fertile skin is soil for better things
My lips were made to sing."
