It’s time
i move on
my colors have fallen
like the leaves
long term covid
had stripped me
i have
stopped eating
can’t sleep
no energy
doctors don’t know
any
answers ///
i lose weight
i sleep late
and of course
don’t care about
about politics
it never matters–
the promises are broken
###################
the last few leaves
are falling today
soon
my energy will
be no more
it’s unusual to feel
losing the race
even those who
know me —
i feel
i turned off
they snap at me
if i say something
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
the good book
says there is a
time for everything
now
i know what
everything means
i think winter is coming
and as snow
melts
it will be my
time to
melt
