In Our Wants
We smiled through facemasks
Said hello with our brows
Held open doors
To remind each other
We were still here. We nodded
Knowingly
On our grocery runs, greeted
The sky is nice. The air, clean
We were surrounded by kindness
That made us forget our grief
We found decency
That made us forget the rest
Our hearts itched for reason, our minds
Wanted for touch. Whatever else we craved
Of insurrection or truth
Whatever small bonuses we desired
For ourselves, or ailments we nursed
Of anger or temperatures, we did it indoors
We pulled our curtains and waited
Till the kettle screeched, then said
Exactly what we had always wanted
Said hello with our brows
Held open doors
To remind each other
We were still here. We nodded
Knowingly
On our grocery runs, greeted
The sky is nice. The air, clean
We were surrounded by kindness
That made us forget our grief
We found decency
That made us forget the rest
Our hearts itched for reason, our minds
Wanted for touch. Whatever else we craved
Of insurrection or truth
Whatever small bonuses we desired
For ourselves, or ailments we nursed
Of anger or temperatures, we did it indoors
We pulled our curtains and waited
Till the kettle screeched, then said
Exactly what we had always wanted
