when the HAND is introduced to a compatible BODY ink and water mixture, the MEMORY will adhere to the positive image and the water will clean the negative image. This allows a flat print ETCHING to be made on MY HEART, enabling A much longer and more PERMANENT REMINDER OF the older UNIMAGINED methods of LOVE.

COMPASSION works because of the mutual repulsion of oil and TEARS. YOUR BROKEN image is drawn on the surface of MY SKIN RELECTING ONTO MY SOUL, which may be pigmented to make the drawing visible AND NEVER FORGOTTEN.

YOUR MARK penetrates into the pores of MY stone, completely surrounding the original image with a hydrophilic layer that will not accept WHAT WE'VE BECOME.
