y/our tongues are true
this lexicon calls for language/s wherein y/our selves and y/our cult communities can be heard, seen, and celebrated. may y/our words, teeth, and tongues take, give, and find refuge in the most in/conspicuous of spaces. nurture y/our waking and sleeping consciousness to dismantle cultural, epistemic, historical, and hermeneutic erasures / remember y/our dialect/ical mother tongues / openly grieve what has been so violently taken from y/our bodies / grow y/our populated microbial partner species communities and welcome y/our selves to the sacred whole you have always already been part of. this is a heart massage.
