my mitochondria billowed by bass blown as fuel to a sea of people— Blood memory; and like the liquidy-laying that comes after a day swimming in the ocean, when I close my eyes, my cells recall the cadence of her music.
I slept so well on that bus, stacked in coffin-like nooks— three people high. was Womb-like & tomb-like, humming walls held me like a baby ‘till I’d wake to sunlight in a city I’d not yet been.

I can relate to the feeling of blood like lava, with nerves so thoroughly frayed that it feels like your body is betraying you. It takes a certain Strong-centerdness to get through it, strength in long-suffering.
