Wandering the steppe
Setting each seasonal camp
The reindeer are home
COVID carriers
Exposing
Noncompliant
Compromising all
Perpetuating the cause
Complacent outbreaks
The mourning spirit
Numbing shock
Angry lashing
Wounded animal
Despondent soul
The deluge is coming
Oblivion's road
Lined with wry barbarism
Compassion sprinkled
From the world of living
Obolus
The ferryman
To the world of dead
A tribute for passage
Beyond river Styx
