Quiet, All Alone Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Eighty-Third Entry, Coronavirus Poetry Diary

"Quiet, all alone"

on the edge of this quarantined world,120 square feet of attic space

yet again, I try
to wipe my drunken shadow
off the wall
but can't erase this shadow
of an infected mind

Note: The eighty-third entry is a sequel to the seventy-seventh entry:

quarantined
for two more weeks
in the attic
we're all alone together:
me, my shadow and my echo
