I look outside.
While humanity decays
nature grows
again.
For the first time in a long time
it breathes.
And breathes.
With humans confined to the shadows
nature returns to its former light.
And shows us
we were never as important
as we liked to think.
And while humans are sick
humans are the sickness of the earth.
So when this disease finally decays,
we humans can grow again
but this time with nature.
Maybe.
