Jonathan Brikcius- Sonnet from Home Isolation
Awaken yawning sunlight dawning
Pouring coffee, morning sunlight reborn,
Clouds amassing lightning flashing day reigning.
Outside window world awaiting, baiting thorn.
Yet, the birds in the sky still sing?
And the leaves still fall as trees still dance
Neighbours in still cars going nowhere – sting!
And toilet paper now precious by chance.
Family grinding my nerves, and I can’t see
my grandmother – too fragile. Time to escape
To mates who are calling. Internet glee?
AHHH, help! Crazy, bored and mouth agape.
O, when will lockdown be over and my
Life and learning returning? O bye-bye!
