Pollyanna-Me

Today seems more objective about yesterday

Yet also quite
as subjective
for the moment

I feel like I'm stuck
in a b-movie
wanting to deeply
rewrite this plot
of tragic insanity

Isolation was not a cure
for my condition
it was a palliative
with dangers
for a
tender pair of
agoraphobes
with each their own
 polyianna-modes
of faith in theology
so close in kind
enough to share
the yoke of love

yet not strong enough in
harsh isolation

to shelter all the young
from hawks that fly on media

over

grooming love for
nefarious mysteries

And so here we sit
wondering how to
safely undo

the stain of our
prolonged isolation

and find our own
safety in numbers
