Inflammation: the key factor that explains vulnerability to severe COVID

Listen to poem:

*Image of Vulnerability by The Conversation. Coma Endeavoring eyes opened to the nothingness ere it. Harkening labyrinths aches to the silence yond. Alone spoke I and loneliness echoed in faint whispers. There remains a trace of me airing silently the breath of belonging. Inspired: 2022 March 28 *7th Place* 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 4 ~~Mark Toney: Judged 2022 June 25 *1st Place* A BRIAN STRAND 1098 ~~Brian Strand: Judged 2022 March 30

William, your poem was very emotional for me since several family members have experienced comas through the years. Your brevity of expression is very effective. Congratulations on your win on Mile 4 of my 2022 Poetry Marathon Contest. Mile 5 has already started!

Mark, an uncle, my mom's cousin-in-law, was my first experience before it had befallen my mom shortly thereafter, hoping she'd have beaten the stats. Thanks for my placement my friend, Aloha~William.
