In Her Arms (As We Deal with the Coronavirus) - A Poem

As the 
Virus locks 
us in, locks
us down

Determines
our next moves,
destinations, decisions

I envision being
in your arms;
breathing you in;
basking in your
incredible

another level

I am on in your
arms. What panic?! 

I am promised
calm when I am close
To the woman I love

And what is more
powerful than love

Even in the most 
trying times?

The politicians 
Can debate and argue
News stations can
continue to update 
and report

and people on
Facebook, Twitter,
and Intagram 

can continue to discuss
coronavirus conspiracy 
theories, or call the president
whatever they feel

All I want to do
is feel 

you next 
to me.
