Six Haiku
by Geoffrey A. Landis
the great pause:
a year for learning patience:
streets are quiet
this is what matters:
you show your love with distance
alone, together
together, apart
attention to what matters:
distance shows your love
the space between us
shows our love:
a year of isolation
a year for introverts
ready to go out;
stay inside
a year for learning patience
year of distancing
find inner reserves
