Married Couple in the Pandemic




I noticed our fingers: grown old,
bones and knuckles;
my face sort of similar, hers is fuller.

We got so used to our own ways,
hard to live to someone else’s tune;
old habits are comfortable.

The house is empty, there’s no company;
I make noise to hear noise,
talk out loud a lot.

Her fingers on the perspex, that small distance
brought the whole distance home;
I would have liked to touch them.
