What is erotic?
The ability to move between near and far is erotic.
The ability to have your sense of self, your self-control, taken away – and to do the same for another person.
The ability to move between control and relinquishing. Between being giver and receiver.
To forget that you are more than a body. To where language will disappear.
And then… to have the distance restored.
You are gently put back into your personhood and language.
The Broken Messenger will let you bring her near. She will give in. Your gentle touch, or the sound of your breath, have already made her forget every experience that gave her history.
But she does not know how to become a self again.
Can she trust you when her world becomes oblique?
