the mournful sounds

of a lone Scottish piper

echo off church walls ...

the masked Queen in black 

alone for the first time

FYI: Wilfred Frost, CNBC anchor and son of David Frost, said on Saturday morning that the queen's "bubble" was her husband prior to his death. He added her being alone at his funeral is quite poignant, saying, she will literally "have no shoulder to cry on," "Queen Elizabeth says goodbye to Prince Philip with a note laid on his casket," Today, April 17, 2021

sharp spike in cases ...

through the hallway murmurs

of triage care
