The silence screamed
through empty halls
as network streams
captured roll-calls
Classes have changed
to be arranged
and seen onscreen

If I had been thinking I would have submitted this poem to the “Sharing Our Truths” collection at the Brave & Reckless blog, where Christine is collecting and posting poems about life during the pandemic. If you haven’t been reading them, they, like everything else on the Brave & Reckless site, are well worth the visit.
