I want to snuggle into
your skin, see through
your eyes, tilt your nose
up to the sky & take a deep
drought of your breath.
Is your brain messaged by
Octopus tentacles, millions
of suction cups kissing your
cerebellum? Is your understanding
prickled by the toes of earth’s
creatures? Is your empathy colored
with chlorophyll and seed?
We are sea and forest
sky and flesh,
we see differently, together
a world made for all.

Visceral. You brought me to that feeling of wanting to truly know another from the inside.

“Visceral” is JUST the word I would have used, so I guess I will: viscerally effective work, Charlotte. I could feel those cerebral suction cups. And the photo’s a perfect complement to this fine work. Well done.

I agree. Visceral. There is something mesmerizing about the their motion, and you’ve captured that.
