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

Beautifully spaced, and paced like their heartbeats and minds creating the tempo in time with the tracks

You stole my attention for a few minutes in this one. Beautiful, heated and spicyy!

This part broke from the screen and got deep into me, inside my skin. My body read this poem, not my eyes.

"like the ultimate gift

a knowing that if we drift

it won’t be for long because

I belong

scooped into you

your hands round my ass

and down my thighs

kissing me as I rise"
