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
