Pathogen Moon Sonnet.
I didn’t want to disturb you sleeping
So I walked the dim lit decks of night
Shadow dark and floor boards creaking
Whilst you dream of children tucked in tight
The town below in lock down stands
Steeped in memory of street cafes
Crowds and kisses shaking hands
Simple things that seem now so far away
Frozen under the pathogen moon,
The inoculant bat song is sung
With an infectious isolating tune
This era now is ended. All our plans are done!
I slip back warm beside you curled.
In this cold, infected brave new world.
