April Chill

April cold like an ice trap the magnolia and cherry blossoms trees have given up their blooms like the Holy Ghost Because of the lock down only the birds, deer and chipmunks were a witness to their funerals Time has stood still and I have stood stuck each day a baby is born but only death and dying make the news Wake up Pray Eat Make another phone call Watch YouTube Eat some more And their are more losses Rainfall drops keep falling on my mind and the window sill a dull morbid grey From that same window I can see the street light but traffic is quiet I am praying that May brings flowers and not a another riot
