Emerge
I’m contrary today,
resisting routines and
what’s felt normal for
over a year.
Windows down
sunshine on my face,
I’m out of town
in a room of writers
masks and distance,
but in person
real life
not on a screen.
Across the room,
I see smiles in eyes
and realize,
even as an introvert,
I need to see my
people sometimes.

Damn right!!
What a heartfelt poem!
Sweet depth beneath “I’m contrary” … “I’m out” … and “I see”, which is repeated twice …
