Let's celebrate
we are Covid 19-free
it's not our duty
to think of the affected many.

there is no greater romance
than a love through words
that pour from the soul
staining endless pages in ink
there is no greater romance
than the souls cheated by time

Along
The way
To make

Matter.
And in the space
Between
Postures
Of not knowing

We poets were a sensitive lot
in a world that shat on us
although we fought.
We are who we are, and the world is...
