Covid had just about spent enough time with us all I think. It is just over a year now and new cases are still popping up even in Australia.

Rosemary Nissen-Wade said...

I enjoyed seeing pictures of colourful masks in the cities of the world. In this small town and rural area, we have not had any cases yet. Masks remain a matter of personal preference in most circumstances, and are seldom worn.

Laura Bloomsbury said...

Gillena, this is AMAZING. Masks as flowers and the weariness within...a moving set of poems.
