Corona Blues - NYC Love Story
My wife quarantined for 33 days
The first week was bad
Then she got slowly better
Enough so that we would take walks
Mask and gloves on
The whole time she was sick we were vigilant
Never letting up on hygiene and sanitizing
My black shoes have bleached souls
We are super careful
She still got sick
6 days out of quarantine and she’s had a relapse
I’m cooking again if you can call it that
My wife is a super caregiver
She takes care of cooking and cleaning and works part time
Walks dogs too
I work a...

Time to increase the dosage.
I'm out with the gout
all in my knee.
So woe is me,
without a doubt,
with my old right hip grousing about
in anatomic solidarity.
But I've some tricksy pills, ya see,
with an anti inflammation clout,
plus, a night of sleep will surely be
the route that puts the pain to rout.
Pleasant dreams 💞
all in my knee.

Fragile
Fragile in feeling I am weak
Wisdom is bringing me low
assailing my strength
such a bitter brew
I cannot stand against Him
shivering in my vulnerability
with reminders of my mortality
A chalice of humility
drinking from his loving cup
I implore why
given no answers
I go forward
Picking up the pieces I have left
fractured hope glares at me
suffocating my fancy
I choke on my own tears
they scald my face
leaving scars all too apparent
Wisdom is bringing me low
assailing my strength
such a bitter brew
I cannot stand against Him
shivering in my vulnerability
with reminders of my mortality
A chalice of humility
drinking from his loving cup
I implore why
given no answers
I go forward
Picking up the pieces I have left
fractured hope glares at me
suffocating my fancy
I choke on my own tears
they scald my face
leaving scars all too apparent

sick sanity
silence crept around me on my darkened days
struggling to feel alive
when my body just wanted to give up
I look on as the world continued with its machine
the sun was shining people were on their way two and froe
I sat on my deck watching feeling too bad to participate
depression set in and I retreated inside myself
curled inward my only defense
negative thoughts circled and I hurt
clawing my way across the yard
lungs wheezing and congested I ache
I made it to the garden but it wasn't the same
everything...
struggling to feel alive
when my body just wanted to give up
I look on as the world continued with its machine
the sun was shining people were on their way two and froe
I sat on my deck watching feeling too bad to participate
depression set in and I retreated inside myself
curled inward my only defense
negative thoughts circled and I hurt
clawing my way across the yard
lungs wheezing and congested I ache
I made it to the garden but it wasn't the same
everything...

The Last Time I Saw Him Not Smiling
The glasses of beer were raised more often
clinked with less care as the night progressed
the last time I saw him laugh himself red
When I peered into his room months later,
he was grumbling and fanning his loins
hospital sheets tossed in a wide tumble
the painter's gentle hand gripped my arm
with the burliness of pain, his nails
dug into my flesh to own my eyes
The last time I saw him not smiling
he glowered for my full attention
as one could of a close friend really
his eyes sought to tell me how...
clinked with less care as the night progressed

with the burliness of pain, his nails
dug into my flesh to own my eyes
