‘Do I mean human?’ is the blade tucked in the banter: sharp, sudden, unignorable. What starts as flirtation spirals into a sly, uncanny reckoning with appetite, gender, Otherness. Wilde meets body horror. #KeepWriting #PoemsAbout #Transformation
Oh! What a blast! I’m literally laughing out loud! The starting itself “ stretching of the mask…. jaw aches afterwards” prepares us for a riot and sustains till the end… so glad you choose the ‘werewolf’! 💫💫💫
I think you might have chosen it for me 🤣 I actually recorded it but too technologically incompetent to post it 🙈 I’m so glad it’s hitting the spot - I was laughing out loud when I was writing it so thrilled it’s gone down well with the dragonship 💙
Oh… so glad to be a part of it 😀, to dragonship! but it’s fabulous; hope you find someone to help you with uploading the recording, would live to hear it. Haven’t explored it myself yet, otherwise could have guided you.
Sure you’ll be celebrating your weekend with 🥂🍾
The dialogue does the work and the shifts are well-done. When the other is other than other, there's certainly a story to tell. Loved how this detail solidly anchors this #PoemsAbout #Transition in 3D reality: And that pelt! Bronze blonde - @alanparry83.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsofBlueSky
This made me smile & chuckle! Thank you for this brief, but memorable excursion into the wilder reaches of Uncanny Valley, delivered with witty understatement. I shall never think of 'Girl Interrupted' in the same way again! 😁🐺👏👏💫🙏
No, a brunette, most definitely. She would look good, though, with those intense brown eyes twinned with bronze-blond hair. She & I are contemporaries too. I last saw 'Girl, Interrupted' in 2000 & still vividly recall it.
This is a v clever riposte to Conversations with a Vampire, Carolyn, both in gender terms and in the different subject, pointed rather brilliantly in the last line. Throughout you encourage us, through references to hair or offence taken, to ponder the literalness or otherwise of this. Very stylish
Carolyn, this almost feels like it could be the germ of a short story. The best tales let us fill in so many of our own details so that each reading is singular and unto itself—and you've done that here. A great read!
