Language here breaks free from meaning and speaks from the body, feral, holy, and intimate. It reaches back to infancy, love, and belief, before words learned obedience. The ending strikes sharply, where speech turns into command and value, shattering the mirror with brutal clarity.

Ecstatic language is fascinating. The words forming as if whispered by angels.
