A Room of My Own: Song of Relief Tanka

One Hundred Seventy-Ninth Entry, Coronavirus Poetry Diary

first warm day

of this pandemic winter

my niece

sings her song with each slap

of a beaded jump rope

Added: One Hundred Eightieth Entry

a surge of wind

social distance between me

and an unmasked white man

Added: One Hundred Eighty-First Entry

midnight moon

the silence between me

and a masked driver
