Day 56 - Apocalypse
You send me a WhatsApp message that my idea of starting a commune in Brasil now seems appealing.
You tweet testimonies from Italian nurses, painting a grim picture of the virus’ impact on hospitals.
You rarely respond to my messages, so I have no way of knowing if you are OK.
You turn to gallows humour in times like this.
You work on your translations, kittens on your lap.
You stare at the trees – are you isolated enough?
You are on a holiday in New Zealand, posting sunny pictures of your children holding up fish.
You are on your own.
