ABSTRACT

A holding, a firm knot, a keeping, an earned comfort, sensing it as your own, inhabiting, making it a home, settling in, finding comfort, a familiarity, a fabric, feeling secure, knowing what is locked in and locked out a set script, stylized, learned with repetition, found, figured, a recognized habit, moving into the bones, a worn path, remembered through sweat, a deep cut, worked slowly into the skin.
