“she began to think of herself as a vessel” by Carrie Nassif
she began to think of herself as a vessel, an organic container, a vesicle. a fluid-filled tube crafted of ancient earth and its ancestors. pictured herself stretching from mycelian roots, reaching, willing, growing toward the star mothers who live light years above, the future entangled in the now. imagined that we were each these self-same multicellular these organic connections, like budding obelisks, draped between extremes as if she could hear the bustle of this community like neural networks transmuting and thrumming with the dark and feral knowings of the universe
