Entry Eight: An Easter Walk
(11.4.20-17.4.20)
Easter Sunday, I went for a stroll
Through empty streets to Gladstone Park
I wandered freely without a goal
Needing to leave behind home’s dark
Instead of left, I dared turn right
Where daisies smiled, glad to be seen
Their petals were so brilliant white
A star map spread out on the green
A dandelion yellow with its crown
Corona shining bright and gay
Another was decked in fleecy down
I blew the fairy seeds away
Off they flew like wishes or warning
Droplets in the air that morning
Entry One: A Cough in a Box (22.2.20 - 28.2.20)
(Coronavirus is a rumble among other stories but silly stories start early.)
Entry Two: Eat More Garlic (29.2.20 - 6.3.20)
(A song and a wash, rising paranoia.)
Entry Three: A Guilty Sigh (7.3.20-13.3.20)
(Confusion at school, a new variation on 'it' and a new chat up line.)
Entry Four: A Week as Schrödinger's cat (14.3.20-20.3.20)
(A week at school where it's open, closed then repurposed as something else.)
Entry Five: Lego and Ice-cream (21.3.20-27.3.20)
(In which much of what we called life goes online.)
Entry Six: A Reverse Joker (28.3.20-3.4.20)
(A trip to the supermarket in this new era.)
Entry Seven: Fine Dining (4.4.20 - 10.4.20)
(A posh dinner - ish.)
(A song and a wash, rising paranoia.)
