Don't Bubble me up. I'm fed up with being in a Bubble. UP!! I need to walk out free. Forget Seventy or Eighty (+) (and please stay at home at all times.) More like Forty Three! That's What I admit to. The head admits to. Let me walk up and down the aisle of a Supermarket, out on the streets. Go to a cafe or the pictures. Sing with the choir. Wishing I could wrap up Covid-19 and send it somewhere: somewhere where it can just fade away and we can wake up from this nightmare forever and a day. Don't Bubble me up!!! But for all of us it's still the must do thing for now. Bubble us up and hopefully soon we'll be not quite so much in our Bubbles. Bubbling Up. Benita H. Kape (c) 18.4.2020
Bio:
Benita Kape is a New Zealand poet. Only too happy to share the experience of a very strict lockdown in my country; a lockdown we are hoping to come out of (in slow measure) over the next few weeks.
Donation Appeal:
Throughout June and July, we will be presenting on this web site work by poets and artists responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope you will find these works relevant, comforting and inspiring as we all cope with the economic and health-related fallout.
As you view the work on this site each day, we would like to encourage you to donate to the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC). Their mission “ is to feed our neighbors in need by providing dignified access to supplemental groceries. AFAC is seeing a record number of families due to the COVID-19 pandemic as families who never thought they would ever be in need are now showing up at our doors for much needed food.” And, in keeping with our hunger-focused efforts, you may also want to visit the Poetry X Hunger website where poems by many poets are posted and are being used by anti-hunger organizations.”
Please consider donating to AFAC. If you do, let us know which poet or artist inspired you so we can send you a personal thank you.
If you send a donation, please let us know.
And thank you for your visit .
