Sacred Mouths Gallery
The Sacred Mouth — Reclaiming the TongueThe Sacred Mouth isn’t about purity. It’s about appetite and permission — and, if I’m honest, about a tongue that’s spent its whole life swinging between two extremes.…The Sacred Mouth is about finding the ground between the two — bringing me back to plain wanting, for words, for touch, for things tasted without the old guilt-narration climbing in behind my teeth.It lives in small, unforced gestures: one unapologetic sentence in the morning, one word of thanks at night, the occasional pleasure taken slowly and on purpose — not to be pretty, but to mark the plain fact that my body is still here and still mine.It has taught me something simpler: one unedited sentence, or one thing genuinely savoured, can quietly contradict decades of self-erasure.Excerpt from Book One, Chapter 11, “The Sacred Menagerie”.
