The Songstone

A lockdown doesn't last for long - here in China, life resumes. Enjoy the clean air while you can Free from engines, noise, and fumes

The ship swoops down, down she comes, a diamond in the dawn, from seven billion chooses One and into her he's drawn   The world waits still, all in hush That diamond croons above, flashing woozy with a sun that all who saw would love   A trillion trickling chimes atone for crimes to land and sea and everywhere you lift your heads will dance in ecstasy
