For me the dominant affect of this poem is mood. I think you capture a mood of being between, of going forward and remembering--vaguely. The past is always a part of us, and yet it fades, becomes at times indistinguishable, and at times clear.

I didn't come out of the pandemic as you apparently have. To me your poem is less about the post-pandemic than it is about life, as I experience moving forward into the unknown and incorporating the experience of the past.

Really nicely done :)-
