Here is some information about writing, as told from my small spot on the planet.
All opinions, gesticulations, and belches are my own.
C'mon in!
No animals were injured in the creation of this website, but many many many words were inconvenienced and/or tortured.

TWO INCOMPATIBLES
- a villanelle on the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2
A1 Two incompatible beings collide.
b First, internal battle - race to enslave,
A2 then fly swiftly, softly, tie threads to outside.
a Host cleanses anxiously, touching denied,
b each masked to keep out, keep in, behave!
A1 Two incompatible beings collide.
a Cell replication repeating inside,
b crowns of quick fire burn through corpus’s cave,
A2 fly swiftly, softly, tie threads to outside.
a Not her! Not him! My own body provide!
b Paradox of choice – which breath do we save?
A1 Two incompatible beings collide.
a Clamoring voices obsess and confide,
b snake oil and science, recovery and grave,
A2 fly swiftly, softly, tie threads to outside.
a Fragments of heart flung most desperately wide,
b soar without touching the imminent wave -
A1 
Two incompatible beings collide!
Two incompatible beings collide! A2 fly swiftly, softly, tie threads to outside.
