Social Isolation: Day 70

Social Isolation: Day 70
 
Every kind of bird
is busy making promises
to the green world
now, in a language
old as trees,
old as sex,
and we
in isolation
call into the mystery
of cells and sound waves
a weightless flight of words,
weaving, in spite of
everything, nests
            “You still here?"
                        "Still here,”
from the language of old friends
with shortcuts
            “And your little chicks?”
                        "Yes, all.”
