Distant love

Quarantine Love

Elsie's Splendour

--

A poem spontaneously created over the phone with David Igwe

I guess we're stuck here now.

My mind's been running around

Staring through my window at an empty town

I finally found the courage to talk to her

We're both behind screens so I'm just a blur

Feelings stir

Blue lights glare

Battery's dead, and I left her on read (unread)

Sleep schedule's messed,

Messed with my head

With nothing to do, I think of you

You with me

Me with You

We with two

My mind says, “In your dreams

But why would I dream of you when I can't have you?
