Skin Talks are large pieces of pink rubber that symbolise skin.
The words show the imprint of trauma resides in my flesh.
‘SKIN-TALK’ WORDS …
IMPRINT
The feelings got mixed in with the bruises
the hate got transferred onto me
the imprint
now visible on my skin
I can see it
UP AND BEYOND
It was like this
You stepped into your fantasies
and I slipped out of my body
I create a world where you don’t exist
I can hide inside a batten-burg cake,
hiding under the marzipan icing
I can roll around in the pink and yellow sponge,
where I will smell sweet smells
No. you are not coming into my land
But I will have to come back to yours
