Last night
I texted you a selfie
As you watched another
COVID patient flatlineLast night
You sent me a selfie too
Your smile so tired
You texted
When will we quarantine again?
I guess when there’s a vaccineLast night
– Jennifer Schneiderman
I held my own hand
Lacing my own fingers together
To ease the rock in my throat
To keep quarantine loneliness
At bay
Until there’s a vaccine
