To be
Always part of me

Him

That look
That wanted touch
The need of his words
Upon my senses

My desire to know
His heartbeat
His skin
Touching my skin

Shrouded
In that moment
Our souls silent

Where
In the fire's warmth
Our shadows
Elongate

a poster of a woman flexing her arm with the words " we can save it " above her Alt: a poster of a woman flexing her arm with the words " we can save it " above her

It's time to change directions so dystopian fiction can be fiction instead of feeling like current affairs.
We can save the world with consistent effort, kindness, justice and courage.
