The Body Poem Project: COVID 19

COVID 19 

Usual writing room and usual posture. 

Plus fear. 

Up in the middle of the night. Cat staring. 

Midnight news.

Foot tinging against floor and inner thigh. 

Morning news. 

Thigh pressed tightly against chair. 

Added worry. 

Elbows hanging heavily. 

Easy irritation. 

Right wrist, middle back, neck stiff. 

Weird shame. 

Breath only through right nostril. 

Dull fury.

Itchy eyes. Arms overhead. 

Plus fear.
