Flesh

Being in quarantine taught me a lot of things

Like learning to be comfortable in my own skin

Really finding ways to keep going out on whims

Stay at home orders took away my grin

I learned how to play card games everyday

Like ace of spades, even pulled out go fish

Some evenings we’d drive along freeway

I remember thinking back to my last wish

I was outside, lying beneath the stars

Thinking, when will things go back to normal?

eventually at that point I could see mars

scribbling sorrows bought me a red journal

And now my life is turning back around

Since my flesh and mind kept me safe and sound
