NO!
the power of this little big word
No.
Short.
To the point.
Extending out -
like an echo.
Boundaries crossed…
…the force of a volcano.
Oh!
The freedom
to know your no
— and to use it -
when you know
nothing else will honour you

Tranquilo.
Whether erupting from
innocence,
ignorance,
or an inner inferno…
…we can practise.
No, not now
No, not like that
No, not yet
No, not there
No, not for that
No, not with you
No, not in my name
And remember,
you know that,
No.
is a complete sentence.
