Sheltering in Place

I run to hug you
stop
I now step aside and wave
I look to your eyes
for recognition
I reach down
Inside
my  heart
our shared humanity
asking
what is it like
for you
now
our vulnerability
from a safe distance
sheltering in place
means distance
but be socially  connected
fuck it all
I want to run to you
hold you
love you
I long for that
this moment
reminds me
of my longing
my loneliness
lonely for you
touch
touched
touching
hugs
vast circle of hugging
forever
holding and hugging
