What I Need Most By Kong Yin I need to protect my bank card, I need steaming bread and savory broth, I need clothes matching my style, I need a decent car, parties and friends. I need vacations and novel experiences, I need to work, but also to stretch myself; I need to lie in your arms and sometimes I need to argue. I need to wear a mask, preferably N95, I need to wash my hands, for at least 20 seconds, I need to disinfect, 70% alcohol spray; I need a productive cough, and something to reduce my fever; I need painkillers and a ventilator; I need an amiable doctor, a nurse who cleanses me. After all these days, I’m still isolated from you. And now I'm tired; besides deep slumber I need nothing. Ah, no! Just before my last dusk falls I still need a kind soul to open the curtains allowing me one last glimpse of you; day and night pacing outside, refusing to leave. |
