Experiencing Interruptions?

Pandemic

"Pandemic" addresses the other pandemic we are currently experiencing—the unlawful killing of Black people. It pays homage to some of the Black lives altered in 2020.

This poem is a part of a weekly poetry series entitled “#SundaySips,” which serves to address personal issues in an effort to create a community and encourage open dialogue and expression in a way that will appeal to a broader audience.
