covid-19
wishes
swarm and swoop
like a murmuration of blackbirds
one almost close enough to touch
then all swirl together
and dance into the sky
just out of reach
wishes
like skipping stones
once in hand
then out and away
how many ripples will be made
wishes
one a teardrop
one a tremulous smile
one a drop of blood
one the memory of a touch
one a wrenching prayer
one a good gift
one light in the darkness
wishes
for when stay-at-home
is a choice not a mandate
wishes
for when we can re-enter the wide world
