The Coronavirus Chronicles #6 - Contrition



Through calmly carrying on
into the ferocious storm we face,
heads once buried now suffocate
in feverish fits of contrition.




The Coronavirus Chronicles #5 - It's the stasis which sickens me



It's the stasis which sickens me;
each day, the invisible killer
feeds off blind belligerence.

The Coronavirus Chronicles #4 - the Pazzo Biondo



They’re of this world still,
yet the pazzo biondo blabbers
of collateral damage,
loved ones mere slaves
to the bottom line all along.




The Coronavirus Chronicles #3 - We hit the floor



We hit the floor,
ground zero,
new levels of low.

In time,
perhaps they’ll confess
to not caring,
not knowing,
not listening.

Worse still,
calculating,
as it all goes to waste.

The Coronavirus Chronicles #2 - the Warning



The warning signs rattle with vigour
against the vehement winds
which whistle through cracks
before blasting open the door.
