Coronavirus Pod
by Robin Roth
Small precious pod
Pod of loved ones who I kiss exchange saliva with and other bodily fluids depending Ranging in age from 1 to 80 years of life and wanting more Slobbering spittle toddler kisses Affectionate kisses on the cheek Passionate kisses depending Exchanging love with touch Safe in our Coronavirus pod Hopefully safer than the Closed Fluid Circles of the early days of AIDS when trust broke down and people died Trusting in our pod Loving in our pod Safe in our pod We believe and trust depending on each other |
