city of atlanta

Ashlee Haze pens haiku for city of atlanta call for art on the covid-19 pandemic

how is art not
essential when it is the 

first thing we reach for?

my mom lives 40
minutes away- it will take
a year to get there

poets are public
servants- we can see the wounds
doctors tend to miss

I am a voyeur
to my own city- I know
better than to touch

kindness is the type
of currency that survives
a market crashing

it feels like a sort
of betrayal-making art while
the world is on fire

tell me the name of
who you will run to first when
this is all over

I watched the earth
take a deep breath today- it
did not cough after

making space for both
grief and gratitude- they have
learned to coexist

I have learned so much
about how to touch people
when I can’t hold them
