Having just got over Covid I thought I’d post this poem, written at 3am during a fever…….
My holiday with covid
From the land
Of the Great Wall
It’s said
You came to my house
Made me sick
And put me in bed
It doesn’t matter now
If you came from a lab
Or other wild
And crazy conspiracy theories
Or the spit of well meaning bat
Covid or corona
Latterly named after a beer
You broke down my bodily defenses
You’re unwelcome
Let’s make that clear
And in my head
millions of viral boots
March a beat without rhythm
The nose runs from monsoon
To drought
With the same indecision
And I hope you will go
In the same way you came
And your run ended with me
I didn’t pass you on
I don’t have to sit with any blame
