COVID SABBATICALS #D1

COVID SABBATICALS #D1

Happy new year!

Dec 31st of the second pandemic winter
damn.. evaded covid for so long, and finally 
it got me 

my body is formally infected
the invincibility complex 

                  simply fades away

<<boom, colors light the night sky

what a treat!
i guess it was just a matter of time

Omicron is elegantly airborne 
it lost some of its fangs - evolution they say
milder and more promiscuous 
hypermodernity 
in a corona shell

Ozdravi brzo! 
Sretna Nova godina! Živjeli! 

I’m quarantining in my room. isolation messes with you
the invisible stories 
that we are all going through  

sozinho

hurts me lately to see so many unvaccinated people in the units
the very sick ones, they linger in limbo
the COVID front is not a fun one to be
! >@#$%^& 
god bless the 2nd COVID Winter !

feliz ano novo! 

but today I got abdominal discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, dry heaving, a scratchy throat
<<boom, fireworks>> 

Rossini in my head

2020 & 2021 are going to hell
and II intend to keep my promises
to you

keep your gaze in the horizon
make love
laugh
and try to raise good kids

yet no poem is good enough
when you are not able to kiss your kids goodnight                                                         

                                                                           in  New Year’s Eve
