Meadow

a moth’s aflutter
zig zags, a cantankerous

New Moon –
In lockdown, bright sunny days are lures to resist.
The flush of spring was without fanfare, the blooms are on their own
No leisurely stroll under cherry blossoms this spring. Nature tips the scale.

Ring-A-Ring-O-Roses!
I think it’s safe to say not enough is known about the corona virus. Is it airborne or contact or is it both? Also, it feels like there is a true “Typhoid Mary” element to this.
Does the strategies to contain this carry a hint of “ring a ring o roses, pocket full of posies…”?
We are flailing in the wind. There are believers and non believers. As the politicians do battle, argue, verbally assault each other – it does what it does. Kill people!
