‘Mundane Compliance’ by Eilidh,<\/span><\/p>\n

Health Records Clerk<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay at home!<\/em>
\nUsually do<\/em>
\nnow I have to<\/em>
\ntoo tired to do anything else<\/em>
\nas the cells in my body<\/em>
\nare peculiar<\/em>
\nkept in check (shielding me)<\/em>
\nwith toxicity<\/em>
\nand bugs (?)<\/em>
\n“not going near that”!<\/em>
\nkeep their distance<\/em><\/p>\n

Distance<\/em>
\nso used to the gap<\/em>
\nbetween<\/em>
\nme<\/em>
\nand the rest of<\/em>
\nhumanity<\/em>
\nso a little further<\/em>
\napart…<\/em>
\nno change<\/em><\/p>\n

Save lives!<\/em>
\nSo I wear a mask<\/em>
\nand gloves<\/em>
\ndoing my weekly shop<\/em>
\nhoping others<\/em>
\nkeep away<\/em>
\nKeep away<\/em>
\nwalk around<\/em>
\nquick, quick, quickly quick<\/em>
\nuntil back<\/em>
\nbehind closed doors<\/em>
\nI knit<\/em>
\nI crochet<\/em>
\nI no longer sing<\/em>
\nor play my sax<\/em>
\n(protect the neighbours ears<\/em>
\nand my tenancy)<\/em>
\nand read<\/em><\/p>\n

in my imagination<\/em>
\nI’m in my hermitage<\/em>
\npracticing scales<\/em>
\nriffs<\/em>
\nsinging to seals<\/em>
\nand sky<\/em>
\ngrowing vegetables<\/em>
\nand fruit<\/em>
\nbeing a beachcomber<\/em>
\nof sights, smells, sounds<\/em><\/p>\n

of touch<\/em>
\nknitting them<\/em>
\ntogether<\/em>
\nnot with determined<\/em>
\npatience<\/em>
\ncrocheting them<\/em>
\nnot in mindful boredom<\/em>
\nbut<\/em>
\nthe skeins are taut<\/em>
\nI have to loosen<\/em>
\nthe tension<\/em><\/p>\n

heartstrings<\/em>
\nat breaking point<\/em>
\nthe mundanity<\/em>
\nof loss<\/em>
\nmashed down<\/em>
\ninto another banana bread<\/em><\/p>\n

another day<\/em>
\nanother week<\/em>
\nwhere my colleagues<\/em>
\nwork without me<\/em>
\nthe NHS staggering on<\/em>
\nand me<\/em>
\nmy injected<\/em>
\nprotected body<\/em>
\nyawns on in<\/em>
\nmundane compliance.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
