Truth 2

TRUTH 2
Truth came to stroke, hold with joke
sprinkle justice and joy
transform lies with tears
lift hearts from holes
with bells on her toes
Out of the dirt, up the stairs
eating mushrooms with dare

107. Withheld
by Kea Campbell
There's a horrifying creak that grows more brittle in unwelcome and unkind time.
It's ripping apart at each ablated site and teases my mind with the end of my time.
Muffled through my chest are groans, exhausted, weak, and flooding with pain.
No one does realize, and I won't tell a soul, that one ghost pump could mark my final day.
It's a blessing to wake up and think, because it means you still know you're alive.
So take advantage of all the ways to twist your brain and exercise your mind's inclines.
It's a blessing to see, taste, touch, and smell; so, experience the earth while you still can.

On Health
by Jan Kochanowski
My good and noble health,
Thou matter'st more then wealth.
None know'th thy worth until
Thou fad'st, and we fall ill.
And every man can see,
In stark reality,
And every man will say:
"'Tis health I need today".

recuperation
by Rikske Kessner
Body betrays while caught in a tempest
The mundane morphs in peculiar ways
A silent storm stirring within you brews
With each surge, it claims a piece of you.
The office now a swaying deck
Unsteady ground, a wretched mess
Fingers clutch with fierce might
Against this inner sea’s harsh battle.

इत्तिफ़ाक़
by Rafiq Pasha
हमारा पहुँचना क़ब्रिस्तान महस था एक इत्तिफ़ाक़
देखा मुतवफफी लहद में लेटे थे छोड़कर आफ़ाक़
आसमान में डूबते सूरज कि बिखरती लाली ये कहे
परिंदे लौट आए अपने घोसले भूलकर सब निफाक़
चारो ओर उदासी छाई हूवी थी, चहरे थे फ़िक्री
जानेवालो कि सिफ्र रहजाएगी यादो के औराक़
करोना का अजीब दौर था जब मौत होगई थी सस्ती

Work 'Em
by Stewart Watkins
Push 'em, pull 'em, dip 'em, and squat'em.
Whatever you do, just don't neglect 'em
Aptly say no to loose and flabby
And yes, to tight 'cause loose is too shabby
No gym membership, Bowflex, or Peloton?
No worries 'cause pushing, pulling, dipping and squatting
will never be outdone

Fit Covid-19
by Stewart Watkins
Pushups and planks
Now armpits stank.
Roping and jumping
Outdoors I'm loving
Kicking and punching
Tension and stress I'm releasing
Netflix on house arrest

Senryu 1
by Stewart Watkins
Once sure, now so lost
Starch and blood we crave
Quickly to the grave
