Artifacts


Numbers and charts and death notices
Those who have become ill
Those who have recovered
Those who never will
Collectively we live each day
Weighted by fear and acceptance 
Each life a leaf pressed between
Pages and pages of living history
An artifact asking us to notice
And treasure, for eternity to come.
