Covid 19 calls for me


Life fell away as the inviting floor

greeted me unbid.


The beginning -

darkest of bright days, 

the brightest of dark days.

The confusion of thoughts

in some maelstrom of peace.


Goodbye wasn't possible

though filling the flashing urgency 

of our parting.

Unspoken words,

un-understood and in a strange handwriting, 

on a trolley, waiting, waiting, waiting.


This is helplessness,

this is dependency deep beyond trust,

this is none of me

this is the beyond.


This is resting in other arms

an infant again.
