I don't know when I can see you
I don't know when the coronavirus will end
My special daughter
I wish I could give you answers
I know you need certainty
So, let me say, " that's a wait and see."
Elgin
Held time more slowly than Fitbit. Big, bright, present,
it ticked down seconds
in quick breaths.
Heavier
than you would have guessed,
like the butterfly
you thought was a leaf,
or your heart
after his stopped beating.
