The news came late. Whimpering lies, over broken bread. Phone a friend, and spill, over-fucking-whelmed. Defence lights scream of a self-injurious wall of safety; suicide hiding abuse. Lost all sound of the fundamentals, all frequencies fell inharmonic. Nothing permeates in the vacuum of our friendship. I failed all packet requests in a broadcast storm. Uncontrollable flood network breaks past the banks, like cable clutter clusterfuck, spilling overwhelmed. So much love lost on you. No apologies? No remorse? To do what cannot be undone on commoditised friendship. No more hiding. No such safe space for you. We want you held accountable.
Heaven failed, message sent. Constructed violent, pixel-picked perfection, angle angling for attention. Harm passes forward becoming what’s created in cowardice; moments lasting forever, lived experiences, as nodes in time, awaiting healing. We need to talk.
Sharp signal snap. Cold front brought plot holes. Hibernation at the signs of changing weather. These last days, before the change. When the harm passes forward, we need to talk. Forever will I be empowered by womens’ strength. (Cloud break) Blazing courage radiates, with sororal solar rage, shining in solidarity, to raze you where you hide. Standing alone, but surrounded on this totally burned bridge.
