Who taught you?

Who taught you to write in blood on my back? Who taught you to use your hands as branding irons? You have scored your name into my shoulders, referenced me with your mark. The pads of your fingers have become printing blocks, you tap a message on to my skin, tap meaning into my body.
― Jeanette Winterson

your body is a lyrical machine ~ spinning ancient prompts that float together like sweet tea rhymes on the tip of my tongue ~ as well, the poetry and quotes you capture and frame to bolster the tantalizing glow of your images playfully tease and pirouette, chasing interpretations into the undercurrents of my inner worlds...

I read, just now, Annie, the extract from "Written On The Body" by Jeannette Winterson, where the quote you used above was sampled from. Your shared images take my breath away at a high rate of incidence, which was the case here. The expanded context of the extract, though, added a whole other level to my understanding of the thought process that may have been a part of your choice to to link image & quote together. A powerful crux are they as one entity. I think differently about my connections to past lovers as a result.
