In memoriam of people killed by Covid-19




The Year of Our Lord 2020


The name was simply Jane Doe, 1970-2020,

some unidentified someone who must have

known someone, who once might have been

very active, who might have had some family.

But only a few words had survived the weather.


It seemed a flat, bland sort of sketch, lacking

emotion, about a person who had a past.

We have no real idea who this courageous

person was. What did she do? Did she take

care of others? Maybe a nurse and a mother.


Did she giggle when tickled? What did

her smile look like? What made her eyes

light up? What movies captured her heart?

Did she hang out with friends? Dance and Sing?

Was she playful? Flirtatious? Coy? Or Shy?

So, why did she have to die

in the Year of our Lord 2020?
