Book Review # 205: Apeirogon — The Pine-Scented Chronicles
*Reblogged by Francis Barker 2020

yet still I follow it religiously:
The enemy is out there, silent,
unseen, invasive and surreptitious
in ways I can’t imagine.
So don’t let my cheery greeting
fool you: I’m scared to death
of what may come —
for they’re making death my sole
release.
