MERRY CHRISTMAS BACKDROP

World lockdown days;

We got to that state,

Kenopsia:

The paved road stretched out,

Before in a distance of maybe,

One person along the way,

For buildings and buildings ahead.


And slam bang !

It happened here,

After days of annual and usual,

Carnival frolic and bacchanalia;

Aftergloom:

Sharp poignant and instructing.


And here we are today;

A new normal of

Openings vaccinatings new strains like Omicron,

Still teaching us lessons along the way,

Heartspur:

To the tune of Merry Christmas.

Notes:

Aftergloom: the pang of loneliness you feel the day after an intensely social event, as the glow of voices and laughter fades into a somber quiet.

Heartspur: an unexpected surge of emotion in response to a seemingly innocuous trigger- the distinctive squeal of a rusty fence, a key change in an old pop song, the hint of a certain perfume- which feels all the more intense because you can’t quite pin it down

Kenopsia: the atmosphere of a place that is usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet.
