The screen lights, a stranger’s words spill out not invitation, not dialogue, but a violation made of text. No picture needed. The body is summoned without consent, dragged into the open by sentences that press, that pin, that stain that trigger that trap. #poetry

The screen lights, a stranger’s words spill out not invitation, not dialogue, but a violation made of text. No picture needed. The body is summoned without consent, dragged into the open by sentences that press, that pin, that stain that trigger that trap. You type nothing back, yet still it enters, an unwanted hand slipping through the seams. Language that causes the tremor of fingers hovering above keys, in the quiet refusal to open the chat again. There is harm even with no photograph, when only words trespass.

I mean, it's just bloody good. The metaphors, imagery... it honestly great. I'm in Awe Bettie and Steve the penguin wants to buy you an ice cream
