City Series – 3.5 Months Old Noah in London, We the Isolationists (170th Corona Diary)

Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Noah, actually his mother, Saba Mehjoor]

I close my eyes in self-isolation from corona… and I see milk. Lots and lots of milk. I see it flowing all around me and over me, and past all this I see my mother’s face, smiling and drowning with worry and fear. I have only been in this world for three and a half months and already the world seems to have shifted at a speed I can’t quite fathom.

As I lay on my mother’s breast I wonder why her once soft hands have become so rough? But it is okay because her smile is still the same; soft and pink and her milk is still warm, sweet and white.

“We the Isolationists” series urges folks from any part of the world to share a brief diary starting with “I close my eyes in my self-isolation from Corona… and I see…” Not more than 100 words. With a horizontal-sized selfie, along with your city name… please mail to me at mayankaustensoofi@gmail.com.
