A family member shared delicate news.
I’m looking out my window,
watching the rain.
I hope the test is negative.
I pray the test is negative.
He’s a good man.
A strong thinker
with great faith.
I’ve always watched the rain.
I think I’ll sit here a little longer.

It’s a strange feeling,
slipping,
and falling
in your mind.
Then you catch yourself
and you’re back again.
What is that.
-M. Taggart
Sometimes we would twist our face
into a blue towel to see what was real.
Take a seat on today. Watch the birds.
Listen to their laughter. Be with them.
-M. Taggart
Went outside today.
Still felt the same.
Birds. Wind. Trees.
Drove to the dump.
Mike and Mo wore
masks. I drove a
bit farther from their
dump shack than I
normally would.
They took their masks
down when they
saw me. I Rolled down
my window and asked
how they were.
Pretty sure either
everything is fine
or everything is
not.
-M. Taggart
My friend,
the crow, is perched on a branch
outside my window.
Some fifty feet in the air.
And just now, his friend,
another crow, came to perch alongside him.
They don’t seem to mind about anything.
I like how they do that.
I think I’ll do that too.
-M. Taggart
next week saw a bird fly
not sure what tomorrow is
or what today will bring
so I look at myself in the mirror
-M. Taggart
Truth needs to be.
The Coronavirus is unsettling.
Day to day life is being affected.
I won’t ignore it.
Neither will my friend, Ana, an EU citizen, and author. “Frustrated at myself for feeling so powerless. Frustrated at us as a nation for reacting the way we apparently are.”
Read on. It’s good for the brain.
