Beyond alterity, us Daniela D'Uva

We don't want to write about us with the writer's logic. We want to write about us with emotion. Without rules, without looks from the outside, without formal judgements, without expectations. We want our words to be like a shower, an immersion letting go anything that isn't needed but to caress the soul, a cleaning emotional flow bringing out the truth, simple, untouched. We wish only little droplets to be caught on our readers, changing their tissues and making their hearts permeable, leaving a nice scent. We want words to be ethereal, warm, fluent, generous, clean. Authentic, like water. We want to make everything available. Our silences, waves, words, dreams that have guided and supported us. Poems, our own and those we acknowledge. Somersaults and jumps, setbacks, ghosts, leaps. Hugs, rest, joy, enthusiasm and laughter. Mutual understanding. Intimacy. Bond. Life. We want to write about how we live each other, in the only possible way when we touch the truth of what we are, with love.
