Having just got over Covid

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
