This is such a tender and poignant poem, A. Thank you for sharing it. The powerlessness so many of us are feeling right now is so real, and can be truly excruciating. Yet, as your poem says, we are not helpless, and the kissing, whether real or metaphorical, is also real - a real balm for the hurts. Thank you for "kissing" us with your words. <3

Maybe all we can do is collectively kiss away little bits of pain and face the rest of it together ❤️
