Last Year Was Good

and it ended too soon

Last Year Was Good

Last year was good

Last year was safe

Although the plague was raging around us

We were indoors

We were calm

We reclaimed

Our lives

From capitalism, from men

From the patriarchy

From them

We de-othered

We found solace

We wrote songs and poems

And danced and drank

Together apart

And now

I feel it

We’re slowly sliding back

Slipping into stress

Losing what we gained

Falling on our backs

Old patterns coming back

Traffic jams and cluster fucks

I’m scared I’ve lost it too

Although I’m good if I choose

Tomorrow will help me decide

If I am to renew
