Dear unknown Colleague

[Knot]

.

Hi Alicia-Sophia,

the new title changes things quite a lot, I think (and, possibly, for the better). There seem to be two competing ideas here, one, the eulogy for an 'unknown colleague' and two, a more general/political aspect. I'd suggest focusing on the former, especially as you say I am too is a nurse and I am too is on the front line. A nurse writing to her colleagues (wherever they are) has great potential, I think.

Just a suggestion as to where you might start

To an Unknown Colleague.

I know you, and the loneliness

of these solitary tours. The fear

and exhaustion. I know that

you are half buried already,

beneath the weight of 'essential'

and the terror of 'not enough'

and the day is only an hour old.

Best, Knot
