From Quarantine
———————————

The most difficult thing in the world
is to
not change.

But then, it is even more so
when you feel you are
robbed of your
pure soul, pure connection to yourself.

This purity, this connection,
is what needs to be
quarantined,
from the innumerable viruses.

Or else, springs will come
with no sprouts.
