Not only….but also

Normal: not only healthy, whole and right, but also typical, average, commonplace.

Not only:
Apple blossom,
The smell of rain on dry earth,
Bees, among the flowers.

I am writing poetry again.

In the town where I live
The homeless have been housed
In a four-star hotel.

But also:
Commuter trains,
Cars, streaming, streaming, 
With somewhere to be, now.
Bundles of blankets in doorways
With nowhere to be.

Not only now, but also before.

We balance
Between them.
 

Anon. 

More LIVE writing...

Sun shines through leaves

Reflections, shape, morning

Mirror in long grass reflecting clouds in blue sky

Still unfeeling

Striped beach parasol against blue sky

A Parasol's Lament

Paper fragments
