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.

rain on water

When it was raining

Garden bird on a branch

When will things get back to normal?
