message in a bottle
send more books to me

we are getting ready
to go into lockdown wave
number 3

I think it I surround myself
with books of of other thoughts
and fantasy

the virus will say
she is floating too far
out there

I think I will let her
be

and save the “getting to her”
for another day

preferably to “get to her”
when she is wispy, old and
grey.

will not have so much to
carry for the final
“get away”

it will be more of a
disappearing act
