Plague Doctor Mask
My love
we fear the corona
my lover
let us wear
our plague doctor
masks to bed again
You look at me
with eyes like two ribbons
of warm absinthe
We fear for our life
from our life
the whole span
of it glistens
To protect us
light the candles
spray on some
moonlight
Let us recite
some old biblical
verses
Some say they
still hear the screams
where plague doctors
walked in bird like masks
where no birds sing...
