The green scaffolding by the lake
Stands still during confinement
Along with for sale signs and smart cars
The world has stopped but its people have not
Now there are loitering fines but
Walkers joggers the movement that comes with good weather
Continue around mystical weeping willows
Winged friends speak freely
Unburdened by quarantine measures
Soon heading to their twigged pillows
Curtains pulled away return to cover curious windows
Of the maison de maître homes
Around the ponds
