Pandemic

By Preeti Kailey

scream, thrall, football
is coming home
home to a country with blood red stripes that run like veins through our bodies
of people
society
a nation of rolling equity with masks unleashed players like beasts scoring rolling the ball
to and for all
pandemic you amaze me
you breathe me in and out
I shout aloud
I am alive!
