A frustration that can cannot be abated,
Knives flashing in the blindingly brilliant Sunshine.
Blood drops spattered across the delicate petals 
of white roses clutched in a child's small fist.
horror lances through her body it reacts before her mind does,

THE OUTLANDISH OUTBREAK {COVID-19}

The world seems to be fading 
To black, ever since Corona's arrival;
Could it be the end of time
Or this is just another La Llorona's rival? 

There is no sun outside today,

For 'tis coming to a halt
As the night...

So many lives lost, so many hearts shattered
Across the Deep South, twisters shook all that mattered

we are keeping a fair distance,
We somehow went back to nineteen eighteen
on paper-boat with supersonic speed,
A virus showed again up

six feet suddenly feeling like miles.

the boredom and the sadness of separation,
the blame and the vitriolic remarks -
