poem completed 18^th April 2020

Padlocks in nothing

Watching the sun sink into twilight

then the moon to midnight,

each night in isolation begins to feel the same

after four days or four weeks

and everything begins to feel smaller

changing meanings of everything gone before

Bridges turn into gateposts

with the moonlight shining on them

after two weeks

then windows tied shut with padlocks

when another week has passed

curving across your feelings

Stirring across the sky past midnight

when the moonlight splays flat

at the start of another day

into an expression of a fragmented mood

changing meanings of everything gone before

even though nothing really changes.
