Distance and Solidarity a poem by Chase Beach

Kate H. shared this poem with us by email today. It seems like a good fit here. 

 

Distance and Solidarity

This puzzling reality we are all facing, 
that in order to stay safe 
we must stay away. 

We stay away 

in order to remain, in a way, together.

 

If we are afraid enough

of one another, 

or FOR one another, 

we may be able 

to save each other. 

 

Love and fear, 

distance and solidarity 

have never been 

so obviously conjoined. 

 

Thanks, Kate.
