Alone Poem by Doris Cornago
Alone
Rating: ★5.0
We are
Sea turtles
Might be slow
Yet we cross sands
Resting when we can
Oblivious to the world
Self-indulging synchrony
Within us serenity satisfies
Surrounding chaos crushes
Safety in our self-seclusion
Persistent pandemonium
Tiny triggers touch us not
Attachment enlivens us
Detachment derails
Our shell shields
Softest parts
Survives
Self

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
We can be together in being alone, two individuals with set perceptions, allowing spaces, but merging where there are no boundaries. But we need to define how this self-identification and self-awareness can keep us moving in the same direction and not let this growing knowledge of "self" be a hindrance to defining "self" which is truly us, merged.

Turtles all the way down is an expression of the problem of infinite regress but in this poem, the turtle is metaphor for self-imposed seclusion or what can be thought of insensitivity or disconnect to others. Two turtles swimming alongside might look that way but people who are turtles have a connection unseen by the naked eye,
