We are in a third wave

 not a Queen's wave

barely visible

but a tsunami that has once again shut down everything

closed our schools

for how long?

The Queen's husband died this week, no Queen's wave, only eyes down, alone, grief, part of all of us can relate.

Another black boy was murdered this week by police, unarmed, invaded by the virus that has been with us and brought over on ships hundreds of years ago

The Queen's wave that didn't happen at Phillip's funeral watched by millions

The Covid wave experienced by millions and won't die

The racist wave that has been here forever, the vaccine for which exists - love - but no one will inject it into those who need it because they don't believe they are infected.
