we wait to be reborn into
some semblance of a
post-pandemic world – the end

in the life cycle
of every skin
cell, there is
birth, awareness,
and death.

humming to
consume, a rebirth of
self no longer
recognizable, a perfect
and ageless death

seconds behave
like eternities,
and you’re never
quite sure which
side is doing
the cheering
