The most interesting thing outside your window right now that you see every day, keep thinking about parallels between COVID-19 and the gypsy moth and ash beetle that devastated forests of southeastern Connecticut:

Giants of old
hang tired,
towering over
a history past
by. Branches bend
and crumble
under weight of
knowing no spring
will come
now dwellings of decay
a future robbed
hordes of gypsies
descended a
pandemic in the
canopy
killing so many
now empty
Mausoleums
of mourning
