ANOTHER NIGHT ALONE

Another night alone…and yet I’m not

alone…just sharing this pandemic world

with billions…the White House Fascist without

care for the suffering and dying…curled

up in self-absorption while my loving

caregivers…relentless as angels…try

to save the dying…try to save…shoving

their fears aside to save…go ahead…cry…

get it out…My brief walk tonight…the moon

tried to break through that stonewall sky…almost

made it…maybe tomorrow…maybe soon…

next year maybe…we’ll unmask smiles and boast

of our healthy globe…I hear Ella’s soft rhyme…

“someone to watch over me”…that was a time…
