The morning came,
       but no one received her...
         mouths were not
         opened,
        bodies were closed...
        so, so quickly
         the morning went away..
          Sans speak a word ,
           sans un adieu.. !...

F-ight the ailment every day, 
E-liminate the contagion; 
D-efeat the terrible threat, 
E-radicate the infection.
R-epel and fight the ailment, 
I-t takes wellness to win; 
C-ontain the silent spread
O-f outbreak while in quarantine.

L-et not lifted lockdown
O-f town make man complacent; 
R-ules of pandemic protocol
C-ontain and fight the
A-ilment.

"And I'll dance with you in Vienna, 
I'll be wearing a river's disguise. 
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder 
my mouth on the dew of your thighs. 
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook, 
with the photographs there and the moss. 
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty, 
my cheap violin and my cross. 

 "Take This Waltz", a 
 translation by Leonard Cohen of 
 the poem "Little Viennese Waltz" 
 by Federico García Lorca. 
" 
— Leonard Cohen (Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs)...
