2020

A poem by Sulena Cai

Days are getting shorter, darker and colder

The end of the year approaches

A year spent mostly in lockdown

Closed shops, empty streets

Nothing to do but sleep

Forever online staying connected

2020 an exceptional year

January, February and then March

March the 23rd forever remembered for all the wrong reasons

6 months later things started to get better

Lockdown round 2 lifting next week

Truth be told it all seems like a dream

LIke the world has stopped turning

Places that I thought that would never be empty

Airports,Train stations,Libraries

Empty spaces.Ghostly memories of the time before

‘Before’ seems so nostalgic now

Warped reality. Same society

Except its all different now
