Four Images
Waking up seasick
in my land-locked bed
I can still smell my wine
yet it lacks flavor
Sitting still feels
like giving up
The vaccine comes too late
for far too many

“Sitting still feels like giving up.” Oh, I remember that from my first cruise!

Sorry to deviate from the intent of the piece, but those lines perfectly synced up with my experience. It was horrible. To your piece, you are totally right. It’s tragic that we’ve lost so many lives to this pandemic. :_(

No need to apologize. I’m glad it resonated. My poetic intent is irrelevant.

I like this. It’s a little trippy and surreal. The picture sets that up too. But it all works. And now I’m sad. Thank you. :(
