Alas! To Breathe


Like new school kids, our best behaviour was reserved for the first few weeks. As the pandemic and the lockdown continued, irritability and sensitivity took the place of decency. We still reached out with a howru note. A terse reply, then none. We retreated to echo chambers, close ones, loneliness, real fourwallsclosingin alone.

For six sweet days, we breathed in our last. Then, suckingoxygenventilatorcomatosedead.
