I am one half of the #writetobeheard project – an initiative that was launched on 24 March 2020 with the aim of creating a collective diary of people’s experiences during the time of Covid19. Below is one of the pieces I contributed to the project. Visit the website for more creative submissions from all over the world.
Hug and Kiss
I see some friends hug and kiss
As if it was yester-month
And then I watch as they drink from the same cup
Stop, stop I scream
We’re in Covid-19
But then I think
No, no, it’s only on the screen
It is from yester-month
When we could still hug and kiss
I long for the day
When we can do the same
Before we forget
And it’s all too late
Living in bliss
