Interface of Intimacy
You reached for connection and were met not by hand but by glass, by glow, by surface. Without delay, without pulse, just a quick reply— an empty like in dead space. Over time you stopped expecting empathy, the warmth, the softness, the closeness of another. Numb now, you still reach out for the interface of intimacy. Not to connect but to scroll. ©Samia Oldman
