An unembellished household in quarantine beholds
Kicking-off with the luscious breakfast I just prepared
And it ends with household chores, I am tired
News channel chatter the latest numbers all day
Knowing the whiff of sadness lingering around
Scared by the unintentional touch of any stranger
Happiness on my mother’s face as she gossips unendingly
About the hope of it sauntering away from our lives quickly
