spring quarantine flowers —contactless delivery— memento mori
summer walks down banned beaches shoals of multicoloured masks— ships flying ensigns
autumn yarrow and ragweed in seed clawing through asphalt— the rush-hour silence
winter advent calendars open identical days— frost-etched windowpane
repeat the months of absence skin touched through the haze of screens— hope bruised like blossom
