Welcome to the 9th piece of the Living Archive of Survivorhood of Trauma.

​

i seek solace 

          in bones awakening soil

          in skin floating sonic barriers

i seek solace 

          in spines undulating love cycles

          in hearts rumbling rebellion

i seek solace 

          in souls swaying freedom
