Softest strongest rock
You walk through the fire enough times
you release layer
after layer
after layer
raw
rediscovering your new skin
the strongest softest rock
softest strongest rock
the spoken word
I conceive these pieces with the beat of my heart,
then birth them with the fire of my voice.
i am ayla
born in the east, raised in the west
daughter of two academics, both artists
masters in human rights, committed to social justice
love affair with travel, art, and food
speaks four languages, laughs in all
