I cannot write
Of death tolls and firesOf slow tsunamis
Of puzzlement and pandemic
Of street side funeral pyres
I can only paint
The riot of white hibiscus blooms
On the stoop
How you strain towards the sun
How you droop
Without water, how you wither
How you fall
How then you're on your own
How we'll all
Be the same in the end
DENIAL by Akhila Ramnarayan
India has descended into COVID HELL.
"I CANNOT BREATHE" has become the chant as gasping citizens collapse as our health care system is overwhelmed by the crisis.
