Covid Isolation -
Plus and Minus
The days slip languidly
how easily my old ways disappear
of weekly shop and cafe jaunt
dinner out with make up on
no longer tempt excess.
My home, my sanctuary
with kitchen, garden, dog and spouse
a soft, well rounded love
how fortunate I am
to be retired today.
Outside turmoil brews
spotlights our unjust world
the weak and poor are left exposed
this pandemic cannot change
ingrained racist minds.
