days blur into one another self isolation     

 

white noise the absence of medium wave

death soup star dragon lego minefield   

 

drifting clouds the kitchen spider branches out

 

yeast so I bake

 

storm outside the cold through the window glass         

 

from this world to the next cherry blossoms   

low battery the small blue light at the end of the charger   

starry sky first one then thousands

walking outdoors the spaces between paving stones   

 

so bright outside of the shadows spring sun   

no news today corona

 

six digits my identity verified  

re-learning to knit eyes closed light rain

open window the black bird’s voice fills my room

 

ancient spells the scent of summer
