In the meantime
By Olivia Gwyn
Someone is throwing a housewarming party for their friends,
loaves of bread are being brought and bowls of rice are being filled
Someone notices the leaves falling from the trees for the first time,
and a baby discovers their toes, wide-eyed
Someone is getting complimented at the register in the coffee shop
and going to be thinking about it all day
A middle aged mom is have a sleepover with her college best friends,
and someone is smiling at a text on their phone late at night
If you look closely, all around us,
someone is noticing someone,
somebody is making someone feel less alone
And it’s not much,
maybe not even enough,
but it is something
And it is something
for us not to forget to look
And there are reflections of stars
in the black of the river
if you stay
long enough to notice the light
