Emotional waves during COVID
Emotional Waves // A poem written in and amongst the waves of emotion which seem to be flowing through this collective experience.
It comes in waves.
waves of varying pace, size
and bodily consumption
The waves hit hard
and they caress softly,
as if barely touching my skin
They flow and move;
they join hands and dance,
surrounding me with in their sweat
And when the heat
becomes too much to bare,
there is stillness
but only for a minute,
only one minute
and then they are stirring again
trickling into every corner of me
I am full of them,
and then
I am empty,
