As far as I am aware, I never had COVID
although it’s ever-present like a haunting
perhaps using some of the air in my lungs.
I live in a bubble now -- is that how aging works? --
all your life you focus on work, family, and friends
making connections, and then they slowly evolve
into something unrecognizable, something untether-able.
Weightless in a space module is now how my life is spent
puttering and bouncing from here to there.
I lost 2 years while ensconced away from humanity
meanwhile the old connections withered, so
I am much at sea, at a loss, even adrift at times
I was in pronounced denial, but am only weary now --
not for want of trying – to sustain the memories of the past,
yet not live there, but where?
