The plague is circling.
Circling.
Getting closer all the time.
6 steps removed. then 5. then 4.
then 2.
it is the dream that is not a dream
the dream that can not be awakened from
the viral bot
dead but animate
that slips into our breathing
that slips into our singing
that slips into our love
into our desire to keep each close
my breath is your breath
for richer
for poorer
in health
and in sickness
close
