Dealing with Life in a Plague. A Poem by Sam Silva

This country like a huge city, explodes
with love from its insular core

…small rooms with their desks and laptops
fill up
with art and music, stories
from a quiet radio
tuned to the public station
lull the mute anxious mind
with layers of nuance

till a poem is uttered in the darkness
by an old soul wondering about death!
