Social Isolation: Day 9
A man under a shelter
bellows into his phone
“Lord, we ask that you heal him and… . “
Just past him a girl
released from her car seat
toddles off in sequined sneakers
giggling, knees high.
It’s almost warm today,
coats unzipped
and hats stuffed into pockets.
Walkers smile and nod
from other paths.
“Restoration in Progress”
the park sign promises
just before Tom calls to say
someone was sent home
with a fever.
Restore Restore Restore
the beat I walk to
as we reassure each other
in whispers through the phone.
Beautifully done, Sherry!
Such fine work. 👏
(I also put a little feedback on the contact form.)
