We're All In This Together Poem by Chen-ou Liu

We're All In This Together



A Tanka Sequence, Forty-Sixth Entry, Coronavirus Poetry Diary

"kill the virus
not our business..."
the city hall
encircled
by chairs and tables

"flatten the curve - "
in breezy sunshine
row upon row
of half-naked bodies
on a sandy beach

"end the lockdown..."
alone with my dog
for weeks
now I open the window
to taste the noise
