Everyone was home

Everyone is here Everything as well Bodies Objectives Souls Energies Lights Voices Vibes Human Nonhuman Tangible Untangible Things The hole of rings With no light It's a Black hole Where you'll find your Soul It's home Where you can hear voices But not words Maybe words with no sense A long path To feel silence

- Written by Sherifa

A sequel:

There is everyone and everything Everyone is here and everything as well Bodies that draw attention with their energy, objectively observed by loud voices vibing along with other aliens. The intangible light, the immaterialized home of the soul. We write about the black hole, the emptiness, the cliff between the buildings if a home was once recognizable, but is no longer. As words merge into a foreign language the path to silence shortens. The overwhelming silence of emptiness. Not everyone was there, that solely was a passing thought.

A second text:

Her eyes
They are like
Maybe
A home
A neighbourhood
A country
A world
Not even sure
Should I get closer
To find out
That they contain
A whole universe

- Written by Sherifa

A second sequel:

After seeing everybody, saying ‘hi’ followed by your name and a handshake, closer observations can lead to poetic texts. The bodies stand still The intangible light is sometimes, in a brief moment (this moment only exists on rare occasions) caught by the eye. The body inhales, breathes in And out in the direction of its place of birth Sunken deep into the eye, the body finds its silence It's the home of the organs, the neighborhoods of the cells, countries divided by bloodstreams, a world with one heart Not even sure after seeing everybody if I will remember their name. A home I won’t search for any longer, but to catch a passing thought To exist on a rare occasion

settling in

to understand where I am, to settle in, to understand my new routine, to let my body adjust to the temperature and the constant sweating, to the great street food, the what to do and what not to do, the languages, how to speak with who, how to eat, how to dress where and when, how to walk where and when, how to look at people, who to great, how to great, to take a shower every day, maybe multiple times, to understand I can go swimming in my bikini but I can't walk in my bikini on the street but in some places I could but definitely in most places I couldn't, where to find a bike, where to bike, where not to bike, what to say in case of possible harassment, how to speak Tunisian, where to learn French, well…
