Too Many Death Knells

time for midnight bells
              close this year of covid hell 
                   just then silence fell
             ringers don’t show feel unwell 
    not sick ~ rope burns ~ hands have swelled

David Kavanagh 

         Apologies for the ambivalence 
         But I do hope you all stay well
