my mind forgets but my body knows and when I miss you I miss you in aortas, white blood cells, raw flesh, layers beneath dermis... shit and piss and blood and spit, and the taste of morning after too much red wine. months long, cold, and cruel. but before there was skin between us, I lay within your body, at peace...

about

do you remember the world as it sounded from the womb? Your mind has forgotten but your body remembers.

when i became a mum, the entire world and universe shifted.

:: m x m :: is a collection of sonic offerings blending musique concrete, improvisation, and written prose from me and other feminists to explore parenting identities, repro rights, universal and societal shifts, our roles in our communities, modern parenting, raw hearts and the mind-bending chaos of the “mxther” load.

the space we create here is for all mxthers;
and therefore, this space is for all of the world.

my mxm.
their mxm.
your mxm.

honoring the rights of awe-inspiring womxn and owners of uteruses as they choose to become mxms, or not.

do you remember the world as it sounded from the womb? Even when your mind forgets, your body remembers.
