A Long Kiss during a Quarantine

We’re quarantined, our jobs closed down, we’re barely scraping by. We’re bored, we’re pacing the floors, we need to work, we need to eat. We need to pay our bills. We’re afraid to lose our homes. We’re afraid to lose our jobs. We’re afraid of not being able to feed our families. We’re afraid of  running out of soap, toilet paper, bottled water. We are afraid to be near anyone. We are afraid to be away from everyone. We hate being alone. We are so fucking alone. We break quarantine to see his face, for a long kiss, for someone to hold. For conversation, to just look at him.
