The Hope

The virus

This forenoon
is like a new summer day
people smile
behind mask. 
their eyes sparkle 
like the worst is over.
Superman,
not the movie one,
is in hospital.
the hope is, up from
the sick bed 
the Phoenix will fly 
on fluttering wings of peace..
failing this
we put our hopes
in prayer 
that he might not suffer.
