Been thinking about emptiness,
what becomes of us
if borders shut down, if sky
becomes silent and plane trails
vanish like clouds
on summer morning.  
What will we be if isolated
and shut off, what
if fear and disease lock doors
and put chain on gate?

What will be the topography
of this new year,
of this new world sent
backwards, centuries really,
back to the before,
to the islands we lived on?

We must heal from this, we
must stop the backslide into
the dark hours, into the
pitch when we all were strangers
and feared one another.

Been thinking on silence,
and the one that is
on the horizon.
