Fifty-First Entry, Coronavirus Poetry Diary
Reopen New York
one Trump fan hugs another
tight ... and tighter
business as usual
giant Stars-and-Stripes flapping
business as usual
giant Stars-and-Stripes flapping
over a salon
NeverEnding Story, May 9 2020
FYI: The epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. is in New York, and is particularly concentrated in the New York City region. And these is a continuing series of violations of Covid19 restrictions across the US.

Repetition
for Søren Kierkegaard who called his melancholy “the most faithful mistress I have known."
death toll rising...
in illness and in fear
alone
with my drunken shadow
apart together
quarantined for weeks
with my drunken shadow
in the attic
I tanka-barricade the door
to my mistress's chamber
in dim light
my quarantined mind races
back and forth
between the old and new normal:
this world of masked faces
