Vianne doesn't choose between opposites. She weaves them.

Primal and spiritual. Speed and stillness. Gaze and touch. Train and track.

"You took me with your eyes…long before we fucked or lied."

What Vianne's poem gave me was poetry…and a worldview.

The poem moves like a train — fast, rhythmic, relentless…but it stops at stations. It accelerates and decelerates. It is both the train and the track.

And the two characters? They trade places. Sometimes he's the runaway train, she's the track. Sometimes she rides him, looks over her shoulder, controls the gaze.

A dance.

"Primal…spirit and animal…carnal…and so very US."

Maybe a statement about a relationship. Or a statement about existence.

Only Vianne knows the answer.

We talked about the finish, and this has a finish but it doesn't...it's a beginning with a future and it's clear throughout the write that future is passionate and bright. Great work, Vianne! <3<3
