Lockdown- 10th Day Poem by MAHTAB BANGALEE
Lockdown- 10th Day
Beside the rail line and the slum I live
Lonely I'm do not feel alone in life
(Early rising, bathing, having breakfast,
watching TV, having lunch, seeing outside
from balcony, reading poetry,
after dinner sleeping...
these are now daily routine)
Inside my home is silent but outside
quarrelsome conjugal life of the poor
It seems to me everything is still as usual
though covid-19 infected one in my city
Probably I am dead, I think the unseen
dangerous giant bear won't infect me!
Fear is the virus signature, dead most foul key
Allows strong sight from my young obstinacy
