out of time

the rain keeps you home.

the virus.
the news.

life has become a gamble,
a toss of the dice.

food or no food.
water.

each gulp of air a cloud
of uncertainty

entering your
faithful lungs.
is today the day

you get it, tomorrow
the day

you die. it's a gamble,
this life.

in living, in love.
are those church bells ringing,

are we running
out of time?
