Covid 19 turned us upside down

All of us

death, loss and distance

places closed

even churches, even for weekend Mass

or “liturgy” as my sister prefers

That became a TV or computer activity

Months of suffering for a country, for the world

It is still not over however,

Our church opened up

My helmet, my see-through shield that kept sliding

Too high, too low

A flowery mask my mother’s friend made

Gloves to cover my hands

Hand sanitizer for when I took the gloves off

I don’t doubt I looked silly, even out of place

Tears flowed, A dark night was over for me

For now

After months of spiritual loneliness

I received a second First Communion
