Our New Normal

Extract crimson hope, ruthless needles Distract my dark thoughts, bleeding ink Contact sanitized gloved sensations Contract, as cancerous demons shrink Dew pretty mornings carry fever Blue icepacks chase lush, littered heat Too many germs lurk everywhere - our New normal household, bittersweet 1/26/20
