Sea of waking dreams

and fever-induced phantoms

sleepless soaking nights

exhausting shivers and sweats

Covid is a beast

Mindful. Noticing

the subtlest breeze’s caress

cool my fevered skin

Opportunity

afforded me by illness

to binge-watch some shows

Finally got me

after years of holding out

Tuesday’s match postponed

the trip to London is off

big disappointment

Robust discussions

temperature increasing

Each day like the last

opportunities becalmed

the new normal life
