The mute tears we share
without embracing
The masked smiles
we transmit from a distance
calculated by health authorities
each of us looking stunned
from a measured remove
eyes perplexed
anxiety scribbled
across knotted brows
The masked love we relay
across a yawning range
of awkward moments
we cannot memorialise
tormented looks exchanged
across the divide of distance markers
each one of us inhaling
their our own halitosis
pining for human touch.
