Solvitur ambulando – A Fold poem
we went through our neighbourhood walking
and praying it was all so natural
no one had to ask another calling
through the telephone what time will we start
it was tradition through our neighbourhood walking
singing praises in the streets on liturgical occasions
pre -covid days were all about scheduling
there was much more projection in our tomorrows
whether we made it through living or dying
then came the disrupter wielding mask and distance
upsetting our neighbourhood walking
