The Escape (2020)

by Erin McKeown

about

The escape hatch is already open. Close your eyes and imagine the fall.

lyrics

meet me on the sea floor
far below the waves and tide
we will kiss
our orifices
away from viruses

fly with me to outer space
beyond the reach of pathogens
i will twine
your tentacles in mine
and feed you hydrochloroquines

love in the time of corona
love in the midst of it all
is this what it means to me human?
to reach for love even as we fall?



love in the time of corona
love in the midst of it all
the escape hatch is already open
close your eyes and imagine the fall

come with me into a dream
jettison your mask and gloves
we will be
free from the necessary PPE
the protection of a fantasy
provides a certain kind of royalty
grants a moment of serenity
bestows a little bit of safety
on the salty floor of the sea
