A Few Words from Our Friend Will During the COVID-19 Crisis
Embrace the world with arms stretched out, then we shall have
“A Midsummer Night’s Nightmare.” People, resolve to love thy neighbor—
embrace COVID-19 health protocols! I howl with resolve
to embrace this bump and stay well. My mind howls
with the loneliness of it all: Let the body howl; the mind, then, willing!
Thy February face howls for lack of wit. Lonely
scenery ready to embrace. Lonely? Never! I embrace
each peerless moment! Heed the cry, embrace your dreams,
resolve your fate. Bumps in the night are a terrifying reminder.
Pepper is so lonely. He howls at the moon. Just wants
an embrace. I howl at this darkness with resolve,
“you are but a bump on my journey for I am stronger than you.”
With resolve, the lonely wolf let out a howl
until he felt the gentle bump of his mother’s embrace.
I long for your embrace, I’m so lonely, so I resolve
to see you again. Today, we long for that loving embrace.
