Post-Apocalyptic Strawberry Shortcake
The things we will
miss the most: coffee
brewing, dinner dates
at our favorite
cafe,
newly baked
strawberry short-
cake still waiting
to be served, jazz
playing in the garden,
fairy lights
strung across
a tent,
our friends
and family,
well and
at home.
Who knows
what it will be:
a meteor, a variation
of this very pandemic,
the sun burning
too close, or
the tides rising
too fast.
Already, two
years ago
feels like a
decade.
What sweetness
there is left,
I’ll take
it.
