All that remains: here in my afterlife as a 'mainstream' blogger, with what little I know.

Restrictions: None
Six feet wide
My walls are six feet to infinity.
You call, I don't see you —
Just whispers pleading near
Carbon-points in your light forest.

My walls are thick, invisible,
Seemingly transparent.
I glimpse you elegantly
Prance, spread your flowers.

Glimmers of daisies bright
Bathe their feet — distanced
From your ceremonial glee,
Apartheid for dour me.

In my cavern segregated,
Your social leper peers
From morass to daily sunrises
Never dawning on me.

Social distancing now
Is no different than before,
Tagged a hobbit seeking
Some precious-like offering.

A frog learns your language,
Kissed upon green cheek —
Beautiful like a prince,
preens in fashioned garb.

In my quarantine eternal,
I am the walls —
Post signs in your woods
So fair maidens giggle, move on.

I'm unknowable in shadows;
But I hear voices pleading,
Like I'm a child lost
In our game of hide and seek.

You won't look for me, Marco --
Polo --
