Attached to me
Like incense on my clothes
Her brave face
Her soft eyes
Smiling
Despite the world falling in
And the carpet we are standing on
Sliding
*There are no cases of Corona here in town. We are hours away from other towns. Shop owners are stuck behind a rock and a hard place.
If they close they will have no sales, and they cannot afford to do that – margins are slim as it is.
If they don’t close they could catch the virus.
As I said – there aren’t any reported cases here at the moment.
So I went and had more chats to shop owners yesterday and bought a few things. I can’t do much but I’m a sympathetic ear and a smile.
This is such a hard squeeze – the fine line between destroying economies and destroying lives.
Hope everyone is keeping well.
