The Chill Air

The Chill Air

 

The chill air knows many sources

 

An awakening from nightly dreams of fear

 

The sip of hot tea as one contemplates guilt

 

The anticipation of a pink slip hidden in an envelope

 

Awaiting the extended court hearing in a divorce settlement

 

CPR for a child lifted from a pool of innocent “let’s party” escape

 

The ignoring of one’s sobriety

 

The aloneness of a bivouac as sun sets in an attempt of escape

 

The everyday anticipation of becoming ill

 

But…

 

Nothing compares to the anxiety nurtured chill

Coming from the One day

 

Fifteen days

 

The unopened test result

 

Chill air

 

Like the virus

 

Spares no one

Who ignores safeguards

 

Such is the nature

 Of chill air.

 

Get real.

 

Prepare

There be no safe havens

From the scourge of inept leadership
