spring breakfast in isolation

18 Apr 2020

Pierre
as this dark evolutions spell  unfolds
a pair of silver jets fly low then sweep
up high leaving behind their bridal train-- 
and rumbles that churn and roll come crashing down 
like the wrath of god-- on painted garden gnomes
suet balls and seed-filled ornaments--
cherry blossom litters path and lawn
beneath the constant larch and silver birch
where magpie starling pigeon and even gull
still visit on with wren and mistle-thrush

a silver teapot nestles on my table
steaming out its psychological 
and life-filled brew by marmalade and racks
of buttered toast-- my sole companions
save propped up newspaper and single cup
disguise the nature of this malady-- 
each newsroom pundit speaks abundantly  
each rising digit one more human life
as we continue with our distances
for them to scrutinize a frazzled world
