Illustrated by Tula Wild.

They fall in and out of touch or love 

in the normal way, the quiet way, 

when they hold the outlines of one another

in their fingertips: the little words they tapped in early hours 

and the echoed textures of their clothes. 

Drifting now, as ghosts, 

absent to the soft, electric lights of feeling; 

living partially. 

Freya Williams

Freya Williams is a second year English Literature student at Hild Bede. She still finds writing about herself in the third person somewhat excruciating and is failing to describe herself in a way that doesn’t sound pretentious. She still likes tiramisu, third stream and the work of Jacques Demy.
