Distance Social distancing for some means stranded with family and loved ones for days, weeks, perhaps months Some finding it tough, some enjoying it, some a bit of both Yet for some, it means not knowing when seeing their loved ones would be Some say absence makes the heart grow fonder, I say a tremendous test on the hearts Many live, study, work miles away In precarious times as such, complex decisions have to be made: to stay or not to stay, to go or not to go The risks of staying, the risks of going To live with or without Staying ‘connected’ like never before Yet craving the presence of the body The luxury of being together seems distant The comfort of an embrace seems faint The reassurance of a grip seems out of reach The imprint of a kiss eloped Jane Chan is a choreographer and dance artist who works in the intersections of choreography, performance, storytelling, teaching and change instigation. http://www.chanjane.com/
