Discothrash #5 "Motherland" Alger Ji-Liang 梁家傑 Illustration by Abi Taylor Maya: Because we all need to breathe in soft stillness from time to time. Whether in the big looming shadow of *whispers*...a global crisis. Or when old wounds reopen in a lacerated symphony upon stretching too thin. Consider this a very loving and gentle reminder to send your body home.

when the body is broken and continues to walk without pause, it mourns for stillness. the body makes ground wounds open again and again and again and again. at this moment, somewhere in the world, bees return to hives birds to nests tides to shore and one day, my body comes home.
