Work in progress. In collaboration with Amer, who designed and made the tattoo inspired by my text, and Anne Schoemaker, who made the pictures.

stone as a fear of connection and touch
stone as motionless
stone as small
stone as an escape of to much, too fast
stone as an embrace of longing for quite
stone as strength and fragility
stone as discomfort
please scratch me, scar me, be part of me
resistance
pet me, caress me, but i rather feel nothing
