covid days John S Green

social distance

learning to love

being alone Lynne Jambor

snowbound hospice—

on my phone I show mother

a photo of her garden Michael Dylan Welch

unmasked dogs

watching squirrels chase squirrels

in the back yard Victor Ortiz

crossing the street

a muffled hello

to my neighbor Susan Erickson

Halloween night

the sun still rises
