Here & there & everywhere between & in the cloud of silence hovering & Buzzing & humming & in stares bereft & in these specks of dust / these echoes of isolation / the child booking pages from a text into memory & the spinster news-casting updates from the health minister & the third year biology undergrad distilling seconds into online courses / on digital marketing / e-commerce & in the solemn dinner / cutleries clinging a canticle & the beeping interruption of a notification / a colleague at school / slipping into marriage & the glowing pre-wedding shots / the barrage of half-hearted congratulations From fingers soused in uncertainty / of things to come / not marriage / but lockdown here & there & everywhere hope tucked in the distanced engagements / the anniversaries / the successful fundraisings / the crowd of courses / the dullness of indoors / the cracking of dawn / the dimming of dusk & this is you shaping your memories into a lockdown.
