VOCAL- they whisper...
Creative criminals in plain sight
Trauma counted like evidence
You paint worlds; they paint targets
Clipboard in hand, you’re gone beneath your name
Mirror behind words knows more than any badge ever will.

    This is all kinds of eerie and unsettling and meta. Well done, Cathy!

    Vocal in the interrogation room is it 🤔 I am already intrigued by this photo. The way you had those lines running through those words. Gives me this vibe that is dark, the darkness of it invited me to read the next few lines. 'They paint targets' speechless is the word for me here. My reaction towards this line. Okay now I feel like I am the one sitting in one of those chairs as a writer. Very chilling. An early start to the October month. Vibe. Theme. And all. Lovely! 🤗❤️

  • A very clever acrostic if I've seen one!
