Guilt

Main Article Content
Abstract
the air is tense and unsafe
shimmering veils obscure emotion
fears and hopes digitized misunderstood
warm tears stream for him
both vying for indefinite options
his lungs are weaker
she pleads for him
he cannot plead
he cannot breathe
but not seen through plexiglass walls
and faceshields and masks
is guilt
guilt that she was on the other side
that she brought this home
that he is here because of her
guilt cannot escape because it is protected
inside the confines of this room
for no one else to perceive
and in these walls of protection
that there is nothing to protect her
from this immutable guilt
