My poem now on Calif. state website

[Robert Urbanek]

I submitted by COVID-19 poem to the California State Library COVID Diaries, and it is now on the state website:

The Curse of COVID-19

crown of thorns

corona
crown of sun
coronavirus
crown of sun god

new crown of thorns
angry at carbon plague
ra shakes head
thorns fall
filling breath of man

men who do not die
cannot bear seed

chariots parked
giants birds cannot fly
vessels stranded
air and water cleansed

ra pledges
more thorns
until man repents
