Tacit

We grew up with music cues

in school, at sporting events, in movies and church

A call and response

music told us when to kneel, to sit, to rise or when to leave

We keep waiting for music to tell us

how to feel about this virus and what to expect

But all is tacit; the silence is deafening

how will we know our way without moments of crescendo?

We are adrift waiting for cue
