Hugs
There is nothing as good as a hug.
It works better than any known drug
And especially now
When conditions allow
Some emergence from holes we have dug.
For no matter how much we’re on Zoom
A caress from a separate room
Is so different from real
That we really can’t feel
The emotions a squeeze can exhume.
This pandemic’s kept loved ones apart
And I’m grateful that I can now start
Seeing friends face to face
In a squishing embrace
Which unlocks what’s been trapped in my heart.
