Love #8
The Only Ice Worth Keeping in Minnesota is Ice Cream / Sara Lynne Puotinen
On this chilly day,
we will be the sun
for all who need it.
We will believe in summer
on our streets,
in our homes,
through our voices.
And when the brutal cold of this crisis
makes it difficult to imagine
feeling warm again,
we will serve ice cream
and act as if it’s May.
Love #9
After
We are still here.
We are still loving our neighbors,
still supporting our community,
still caring about the constitution.
We are staying warm.
We are staying strong.
We are staying impossible to ignore.
