Stealthily enemy came
silently cloaked
world continued
no care
knowing nothing
unaware.
Progression dire
explosion geometric
emergent casualties
no respect
old frail
young healthy.
Flattening peaks
isolation, loneliness
statistics implausible
insane
more insane
hourly.
Tomorrow comes
words repeated
rationality absent
crave normality
not today
– soon.

Lovely poem. Captures so well how the disease crept up on us.
