“Life is messy. You’re born, yikes, that’s definitely a messy start,
no matter how you come out.
We could go a little further back and consider conception.
Thank goodness, that’s still passionate, and potentially messy.
Relationships can be such a roller coaster ride
of soaring joy and crashing heartbreak.
Without this full range of possibilities,
life would just be a pastel bore.
So, I made a Covid piece about romance, passion.
It’s been interesting to talk with people about budding
romances put on hold, because of ‘Stay at Home’ orders.
I called it a ‘First World Complaint’, because many countries
had the option to simply step back from an insane rat-race
and protect their communities by listening to science and
communicating through technology, a mass agreement to
easily stop the spread. So many others, though,
don’t have the science, the tech, don’t even have a medical
care system too overrun with irresponsible, selfish choices.
So, I’m grateful to live in a country where we can be silly
and discuss the drama of love interrupted by Covid.”
Clove Flower –
I have loved you and you have not known it.
Shameplant – Touch-me-not
Stay 6 feet away, wear a mask, and gaze into my eyes.
Dogwood –
Love undiminished by adversity (always).
“An epic love story of longing and desire in the middle of a pandemic.”
