X=kissing O=hugging S=cuddling

If the time ever comes

when human touch

is taken from you

(because you are

sick or in solitary

or castaway or...)

you will understand

how much

you need it:

your skin will ache

as a riverbed

cracks

for

want

of rain;

you will never take it

for granted

again
