My amazing partner Angie is a nurse in an NYC hospital, caring for Covid-19 patients. This is her wearing just the first layer of PPE she puts on for a 12 hour shift. The work is, of course, very very difficult right now. For safety's sake, (1/3)

Crushed. So much beauty. RIP DB. This one:
Well the water looks like jewelry
When it's coming out the spout
And nothing could make me feel better
Than a wet kiss on the mouth
Fake ID's and honey bees
The jagged skyline of car keys
I never knew a bird could fly so low
