I roam places
January 8, 2021
I roam places
my face
stuck with
the black cloth mask
inhale
sulphur and carbon
walking the pavement
stony grey
with hurried footprints
trees and flowers
sigh in the smoke
their bodies grey
and black
I reach home
exhale
the polluted air
sit on the sofa
coughing
beyond repair
