It's Still Life

I Might Deny Writing This

I cough
You cough
We’re both coughing with Covid

In the dark
Down the stairs
To the fridge
A late night snack and

I open the door, cold
Light spills across the floor
Feast or famine
It’s an empty wind that’s blowing.

Mayo
Mustard
Chutney
Capers

One egg
A pear
No taste
No flavour

Kimchi
Pickles
Roquefort
Grapes

This is nuts
I cough
You cough
We’re both coughing with Covid
