Stay inside
Don't come out
They'll say when
it's safe to emerge
A greater good
(They say)
Mine too
(I suppose)
It still hurts
Keeps me awake
Defiantly grasping fleeting comfort
beyond the void of solitude
The cure is Separation?
Deprived of touch
I long
For warm embrace
Crave its nourishment
to appease the hollow sadness
Of Social Deprivation
There must be another cure!
Isolation eats dignity
Nibble after nibble
Bit by bit
Worthiness dissolves
until even the little finches
flitting outside my window
Are hard pressed to make me smile
A thought –
A curious kitten to tease
with a feather on a string
A thought –
A waggish pup
A friend devoid of judgment
But…
I am socially distant
Far removed from vulnerable masses
A remedy
for my inexpiable imperfections
Tolling the never-ending penance
Fear is the malady that prevents Healing.
