The Other Side Of This House Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

The Other Side Of This House

My world,
My life,
Surroundings,
And the unknown,

These are my expected
Readers and the News,
My usual treats,
Tales of the informed
And obituaries,

There was a boundary,
Between fear and immunity,
Safety and the horrendous,

And then as I read
presses of the strickened land,
from the plagues,

Outside,
In shocking revelations,
Inside,
In stunning demoralization,

I feared the ghosts of,
Millions of the infected,
Asking for my health,
