Response.

Dear All,

It was about a week before I had dreams about it; arriving in the shape of a former lover so damaging that they would present themselves to my subconscious as the bringer of death in the form of viral contagion.  It is not lost on me that the relationship with that person was so long ago, and yet, even now manifests in my psyche as deathly pestilence. 

Sometimes they appear in the waking world, too, and I hide as best as I can.  Maybe you have heard from them too, here and there, and you have wisely kept silent as a response.

It means nothing, really, I suppose. 

Take care and be well.
