So, what does it feel like
to be grounded, globally
sent to our rooms
like errant children
privileges suspended
and told to think hard
about why we got here
and how we'll get out?
Tell me, what’s your exit plan?
Update: I've just learned that my poem will be featured in an online exhibition: “Artists and Poets Respond to Coronavirus/COVID-19”
May 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020, in the Arts & Faith section of the St. Michael’s Episcopal Church Website (www.stmichaelsarlington.org/)
Showcasing images of 20 original ekphrastic artworks and 20 original ekphrastic poems.
