I.

Silence lives, pervades,

Like a madness closing in,

Solitude at home.

II.

Fields of masks and shields,

All spread out six feet apart.

New normal glimpses.

III.

Virus mutated,

Footsteps like an assassin,

Spreading like wildfire.

IV.

Unflinching, frozen,

‘Tis is limited bandwidth,

A school of pauses.

V.

The road is silent,

Empty of beeps and mutters,

Transportation ceased.

VI.

Terror grips my veins,

Positive mark unwanted,

A threat unneeded.

VII.

Breath shallow, painful,

Heart rate steady, monitored,

Are the only sounds.

VII.

World trapped in prisms,

But refracted paint past pain,

Bleeding light and hope.
