Finding Joy in a Time of Pandemic

Finding Joy in A Time of Pandemic

halos of dirt and sweat and sun
rivulets of peach juice flowing down chins warm hugs from flannel fresh from the dryer dragonflies fliting on diaphanous wings

dogs raising dust on parched gravel roads tasty color gardens grinning green and ripe red resting in leaves as calm as glass the sea and the
sky that can’t be contained
