Came up with many options
Few known

Some not given
Some gone hidden
To live with Corona is sudden!

Love

Love narrows your options, it finds ways for you to disappear under fingertips. Some say it’s a chemical reaction, if so, I’m an enzyme.

        then archived
'til
      a new day...
...by
        restraint
