Not Enough
There are too many rules, too many mandates, shelter in place.
The sun at my back. Her by my side.
Hiking up up up.
Over the ledge are empty cities. You can see seven from the peak. One by one, we count them out.
A bird chirps and tweets: quarantine. And soon it’s a symphony.
We are six feet apart, thousands of feet from the cities, billions from the sun.
But somehow, it’s not enough.
