I’m twisted
into submission;
admission
to true world
of imaginary breeze
and coconut salt.
I’m a seed,
slipping into sand,
letting go.
The wild sea’s
crest and trough didn’t swallow me,
silence me - my thoughts.
Roots, a muse -
rest and recreate;
drudge baggage
ditched at shore.
The dunes spoil me with their grit
and pink hydrangeas.
Sunglasses
recover my eyes;
sunburn writhes
on my skull.
Hair in free fall, snarled and damp,
like anemones.
An assault
of coconut breeze
in true world;
admission
into twisted submission
of relaxing waves.
The sunspots
of Summer outbreak.
I bring pail
and shovel.
I shore up castle, today,
midst whirlpool of moat.
The true world
tries to interfere,
as I splash
cruel eyes.
My hands and feet completely
disappear…left - write!
Warsaw 1940 certain inhabitants designated
A health risk were ordered to strip naked
Had to shower to become clean this ploy
Caused public humiliation, and showed
Dominence there was also mass quarrantine
Also to your own house that was
Useless in its 'so called mission'
And in fact caused a rise in infection
As the immune systems of people
Lowered due to length of confinement
this was a take on the tried and
Tested method (the public heakth emergancy)
Pioneered earlier that decade in Germany
In declaring a public health emergency i think
In 1933?, this enabled opening the way for martial law
Which was the springboard hitler craved to get
Complete control of the German populace
Any person of Germanic nationality over the age
Of forty years in age, should be able to validate
These events as also george psoriasus and
klaus the louse would be emminently qualified
To so do.' At this moment in the UK a rise in
Typhoid cases is being flagged up by the health
Department..
COVID
raging
through town
H-orrendous outbreak of link
E-mploys eerie expansion;
D-readed disease in spread
E-ndangers every nation.
L-ethality of horrendous outbreak
I-mplements invisible infection;
Z-one of terrible threat
A-pplies the cruel contagion.
C-ontaining the morbid menace
I-s for the human's sake;
A-lcohol and proper hygiene
N-egate the horrendous
O-utbreak.

M-ystery of outbreak brings
I-nfection to the people;
C-ontagion of silent sickness
H-orribly lets it snowball.
E-rase the mystery of outbreak,
L-et it fade into nothingness;
L-et health and hygiene
E-liminate the illness.
C-lose contact causes
A-ilment in alarming ache;
C-over yourself in lockdown
H-ide from mystery of
O-utbreak.
