Poem 13/30 excerpt

No sense of gravity or weight today. Just

an ache of loss. Acres of dust settling over all

and everything. This afternoon I search

the streets. Highs ending, the reckless trash

and heaps of masks covering the shine of teeth

and every bodies’ smile. But there is this. Too,

the small hands of children all over the city

reaching up to hold the hands of the people

who love them.
