Balconies from Somewhere Between by Grizzly Bird

nature’s inhaling deeply
and animals you rarely see
have begun to come out of hiding

the airplanes vanished from the sky
the tourists left Neuschwanstein
just a few keep falling off the snowy mountains

empty shelves and empty streets
Italians singing on balconies
signs of what is going on and what’s to come

unexpected laws and fines
unexpected leisure time
virtual family reunions

the boy is playing in the sand
voice messages from toddler friends
by now he lost his fear of bees and ants

teen couples that meet secretly
and neighbors that call the police
when they hear signs of joy and sounds of laughter

blue tits are dying mysteriously
a blackbird’s breeding on the balcony
no clue what’s going on and whats to come

old folks are chatting in the street
the young are locked behind their screens
police are eating ice cream in the sun

the awkwardness when people meet
the distance that they try to keep
makes some of them smile and others grumble

toads are spinning black strings
the first people dare to swim
everything’s a bit too warm too soon

the sun is shining empathically
home office on the balcony
signs of what is going on and what’s to come
