Love in the time of Corona
LOVE
Rebecca Canup
The borders between us have now closed
Even if we wanted to walk the earth’s soils to get to each other
We can’t
The world is in survival mode
We are all just trying to keep the wolf from the door
Yet all I want to do
Is touch you
I can imagine honey
Spilling from your soft lips and landing sweetly all over my skin
Drowning slowly, sinking deeply into your quicksand dimples
Opening myself
And letting loves emotional plague
Consume me.
