National Poetry Writing Month Challenge: Day Eight

Chaos and the Cough

Poetry

Our reality is a cracked mirror
the virus has smashed the glass
where we find a disfigured twin
looking back at us
the raw reality of the reflection
we are cautiously slipping through
enlightenment has wrecked our fake security
as we shift from one reality to another
