Togetherness










crushed flesh
tight reassuring
warmth

together we survive
marauder attacks
together we prosper
together we grow

reclusivity
unknown
except for lepers

privacy
a western concept
luxury item

all of a sudden
I feel so foreign

  1. I really like this. My husband grew up in a larger family than I did, and it really is like separate cultures, let alone when we throw different countries in. I really like how you describe that 'togetherness' feeling and then add that different perspective in. Nicely done!

  2. Glad you liked this one Zoe. I'm from the different perspective zone,living in land with miles of empty beaches,vast spaces and a small population...I'm certain that it affects the psyche!
