Another spring, not for everyone

GERMAIN DROOGENBROODT

Left in the grey air
as unfulfilled desires
smoke of cremation

*

Hankering for dawn
but it won’t rise for them
corona victims

*

The blackbirds wonder
why the streets are so empty
sorrowful their songs

*

A knock at the door
a faint light in the darkness
only for a while

*

Floating in the air
white and grey clouds
funeral notices

*

Springtime: sun and light
a blackbird sings the praises of life
splinters in his soul

*

With such fervent red
flourish the magnolias
but he has to leave

*

Like waves at the shore
good memories returning
nobody to share

*

A medical check
everything under control
but who can see it?

*

It is back again
the screeching of the crickets
for them no lock down

*

Paradise flowers
piously bowing their heads
not for earthly gods

*

They came back again
the lock down could not stop them
the swallows of spring

*

Blooming oranges
spread an enchanting perfume
messages of hope

*

The bougainvillea
announces another spring
not for everyone
