moving purposefully
in this small space
determined
idle productivity
everything
and everyone
standing still
while the world shifts
close contact
feels extinguished
but not
the craving
a need for warmth
in a world
that seems to
have gone cold
a temporary situation
they say
hopefully
this depression is too
May you all have enough distance to be safe and
connected with sufficient love to remain sane.
humankind responds
what is your contribution
enlighten or harm

the bold elegance
of this magnificent sky
it feels so imaginary
and overwhelming
but also a calming haven
in times of agitation
a retreat
when it’s become
all too much
it is a refuge
for my sanity

I just want to hug her and touch her sweet face. But I know I have to restrict myself during these times. Being socially responsible right now does indeed count in this woke world; it’s how I can be compassionate. Then I hear of the cult back in my home town still holding mass. How utterly insane they are! They should lock the doors and call it a day, indefinitely or at least until the worst is over. We all need to distance ourselves.
I look down at my hands and realize they are the enemy that I can control.
This
is an
oddly strange,
crazy feeling.
How could I predict
what would happen to me
in the very next moments?
Am I losing my sanity?
It feels quite impossible to know
I am experiencing this again.

this natural disaster
is bringing us to our knees
even those who lead
or inspire us
are shedding tears
losing hope
breaking down
not able to guide
the few strong
of us left
this domino effect
a chain reaction
to the unknown
makes us all feel
like tumbling down

“Ping my phone, you damn flake! What’s the new plot twist?” Sarah yelled. “Le sigh, why do I always end up working with weirdos?” she wondered. Sarah grabbed the steering wheel hard and continued to mutter to herself as she pulled into the parking lot to meet with her boss. The press was already there. “I’ll need to tread lightly with them. Otherwise, the boss and I will have a fall-out.” Quickly she decided to turn around, making a break for it to avoid that possibility. “First, I’ll figure out how to phrase my response to avoid that from happening.”
