Inuit Nunaat

We have family we haven’t met yet. 

Soul friends, new love—

Uncracked laughter awaits to rebound from 

Breakout rooms and community halls,

From living room, meeting room, and conference room walls 

Like the unsplit atom of atomic energy.

Nuclear Inuit potential. 

Perhaps laughter is described as a crack 

because of what it breaks, 

Like borders

Or that time we didn’t know each other, 

and a new fusion is put in its place. 

Fusion like energy. 

Fusion like a body that heals.
