Cov One 9


Unravels fast, doesn't it?

Surprised?

That permanent thread, 

Delicate.


Supply chains, 

IV; 

next hit,

Interrupted. 


Instant life, seems distant,

Halted, 

Wings clipped, flight; 

Grounded.


Fault lines, flatline 

Ventilate,

Isolation on display, 

Desolate.


Pathogens, Pangolins, 

Bats, 

What darkness lurks, 

In the year of the Rat.   


Haves, have nots

Fate,  

Zindagi, maut 

Politicians, pontificate. 


These Four Walls, 

Home, 

Global Citizens,

populating phones. 


individuality Withers;

on the vine; 

Cultivate, What is;

I? 


Disposable fashion, 

P.E.Ps, 

Instagram this;

Disease


Lives we’ve built; 

Our Grenfell towers, 

shellacked walls

Fragile, Nail parlours 


2 trillion dollars, words

Paper.

Death Toll, Who’s first? 

America. 


Can’t purchase life with debt, 

that dalit behind 

your Amazon button;

Dead


V,U,W,L, 

Recovery Bell,

across the Street, 

Death knell. 


baME frONT LINE 

Defends 

privileged WHITE

(friends) 


Lest we forget 

When 

The clapping 

Ends 


One final battle 

VEterans, atone 

D Day, Inside our

CARE Homes? 


Revelation 6:1-14,  

Signs. 

Rider on a pale horse
