Kim[26.03.2023]<br> “When I put my hands on your body on your flesh I feel the history of that body. Not just the beginning of its forming in that distant lake but all the way beyond its ending. I feel the warmth and texture and simultaneously I see the flesh unwrap from the layers of fat and disappear. I see the fat disappear from the muscle. I see the muscle disappearing from around the organs and detaching iself from the bones. I see the organs gradually fade into transparency leaving a gleaming skeleton gleaming like ivory that slowly resolves until it becomes dust. I am consumed in the sense of your weight, the way your flesh occupies momentary space the fullness of it beneath my palms. I am amazed at how perfectly your body fits to the curves of my hands. If I could attach our blood vessels so we could become each other I would. If I could attach our blood vessels in order to anchor you to the earth to this present time I would. If I could open up your body and slip inside your skin and look out your eyes and forever have my lips fused with yours I would. It makes me weep to feel the history of your flesh beneath my hands in a time of so much loss. It makes me weep to feel the movement of your flesh beneath my palms as you twist and turn over to one side to create a series of gestures to reach up around my neck to draw me nearer. All these memories will be lost in time like tears in the rain.“<br> (David Wojnarowicz - When I Put My Hands on Your Body, 1989)<br> <br> .<br> .<br> .<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/davidwojnarowicz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#davidwojnarowicz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wojnarovicz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wojnarovicz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/citation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#citation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/body?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#body</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/flesh?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flesh</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/paris?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paris</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/parismetro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parismetro</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/metro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metro</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/metrostation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metrostation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lips?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lips</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mosaic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mosaic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bouche?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bouche</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/levres?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#levres</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mouth?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mouth</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mosaique?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mosaique</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mosaik?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mosaik</a>
