A Poetic Coronavirus Response from Peter Marcus

“Crowns of Thorns,” a poem for Peter Marcus, whose collection of verse, A Worker’s Friend, was published in 2019:

“The air is fresh

but we can’t

breathe easier

with these crowns

of thorns

we’re unable

to mask,

a sick response

to a disease

gone viral…”
