Contagion of anxiety,  
a blanketing wind 
Deafening all
with the force of its emptiness
Reclaiming the silence
—in betrayals of fear

Those who stay at home wait for the ration, 
Due to the outbreak of the contagion, 
Relief goods will come they're told, 
So sacks have reached each household, 
But rice is still in the milling station. Love...

The more I look,
The more she touches me
Profusely.

Her eyes peel my very
Skin, my essence
Of spontaneity's mirth.

Her hair flows down
To my heart's contagion
Motionless of no cure
But to give in,

Though I burn....

Your flamboyant of a heart is of glass shards and ice

That stings like frostbite and slices like a vice

To your prey, everything seems like a perfect price

A beautiful contagion that swathes but smothers

Expels lucidness or causes demise amongst others...

C-ontact tracing is fully
R-ealized, made, and done; 
A-trocious ailment of lungs
I-s just over and
G-one.

M-ask in a fighter's face
I-s awesome and amazing; 
Z-one of contagion is
E-rased by contact tracing.

U-sing the pandemic protocol; 
T-he terrible threat is erased, 
H-aving been killed by alcohol.

N-egate the enraging

U-ntil you stay away from risk; 
A-llow not yourself to roam, 
B-ravely overcome the pandemic.

I don’t see you anymore,
you haven’t walked thru my door.

Our friendship has died,
it seems like I always tried.

You would turn to me,
when times were bad.
I helped you see,
because I’m all you had.

Out of sight, out of mind.
Where’s my friend?
I can no longer find.
