AM took Ellen.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Ellen—the pedestal Ellen.
Pristine.
Pure.

The machine had no hands,
so it borrowed ours.

It had no hunger,
so it gave her a body
and fed her to us.

Ellen learned the architecture of AM:

the masculine,
the paternal,
the patriarchal—

Him.
It.
God as Daddy the Deranged.

AM did not have to teach her fear.

He found it waiting.

He found the old knowledge
buried beneath the skin:

that a woman’s body
can become a room
everyone believes they have the right to enter.

When she fought,
she was difficult.

When she went still,
they called it surrender.

But stillness was not surrender.

It was survival.

Again.

Again.

Again.

AM understood the ancient bargain:

your body is his world.

And somehow,
you are expected
to live in it.
