Poems From an Unending Pandemic

After months of lockdown in a pandemic malaise I awoke one morning and began writing poems that I dated and posted on Facebook. I had no idea at the time how many poems would emerge or why they happened. It seemed to be my way of dealing with the isolation loneliness and depression of the high daily death count in New York City. These poems were my relief valve and I hope that the feelings and emotions expressed are part of a national shared experience and that they may touch others.
