I feel like so much happened and I still didn’t process that, even after quarantine I feel like it’s always a big weird dream. I didn’t “meet” any cases of coronavirus in my private life and because we can go outside again the only reminder of that is the masks that we have to put on all the time.

“Aromatic”
We’re so far from where we started.
It’s feeling like summer, and I’ve migrated
from the window to the front garden.
There is joy to be found amidst the
abundance of caution:
Gardening for my mother,
Knowing I’m not alone,
The scent of wet soil.
When it’s time, I’ll let the mask obscure my smile.

I feel so trapped inside my house. I want to go out and be with my friends.

This is who I see when I look in the mirror. His hair has gotten so long he needs a bandana to keep it out of his eyes. He keeps his mask right by his bedside and he doesn’t leave the house without it on.

Collaboration
One of the last operating community centers, nurses and doctors talking to organize patients and samples. Many line up for a test - no insurance card needed.
