The News

Emily Yamasaki

A global threat
is creeping within
unexpecting bodies
Taking one, two…
Two hundred thousand

But we are quarantined
But we are careful
But we wear masks
But we wash hands
Our home is our haven –

“We want to immediately share 

that one of our community members 

has tested positive for COVID-19…”

No one is safe
How does one face
this fear?
