“On Hurried Parting and Harried Passing” by Christina McRorie

Christina is an international studies major and economics minor, as well as the Poetry Editor for in medias res. This is a silly little poem about the folly of surmising time will be generous, but loving as if it will be, with reticence and austerity. This a pandemic memory of love, lost before it could ever be exhausted, and a call to take nothing for granted. Be soft. Love lots.
