I think your poem speaks to something very true Willow. There is a definite compression in the air in these times (and for many for a very long time before this).

I remember seeing gulls in a Costco parking lot in Denver once and being surprised. A long way from the ocean, they were. I wonder if they ever missed the silence of the sea. Great haiku…I can’t seem to get the hand of writing them myself

Not just you. I am laying here reading this at 4 in the morning. Maybe that’s why I love this write. Well done.
