I Want

written by: Chloe Gilholy

@Chloboshoka

I want to wake
to the smell of tulips
lie back in jewels
and laugh

I want to pour out
DANCE under flapping crows
wind flowing over
toes to the sky

I drink sunshine
in little tubs
wobbling and reeling
by the window

I want to wash
my flaws in
narcissus waters
green-white beryl floats

Then lie some more
in sunspots
sniffing green fragrances

She is working towards publishing a book of her writings in the near future.

Whether it is the fear psychosis, the measures taken to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the dedicated and tireless work of groups of individuals in taking care of the afflicted, the resistance to the imposition of stringent regulations by the authorities and lastly the realization that we have to move on but with a changed perspective and living a new life.
