This Tactility

Your touch on my face. This tremble down my spine. My caress of your own. That quiver beneath my fingertips.

Is this how we know we’re alive?

evening twilight

how many more days

do we still have?

How many more times

will we touch?

    Frank, this is a truly provocative contemplation on the essence of life and the fleeting nature of human connection. Well done, sir!

    I love the vulnerability of this tactile quadrille, Frank, and the familiar question: ‘how many more days do we still have?’
