A #lockdown #spinepoetry #stayhome #poem

A wrinkle in time.
We come apart.
Downtime devotions, breathing lessons,
time enough for love.
Grimm tales, the sense of an ending—
fury!
All the little children tread softly. (1/2)

Good omens:
Spilling ink, getting into character—
Art matters!
Death or ice cream?
Anything is possible.
This is the ritual; how I live now. (2/2)
