The earth is happier now

The earth is happier now
I can see it in the sky
Bluest cerulean days
Inkiest, stariest nights

From California to China
fine particulate matter plummets
Wild boar roam Madrid
A peacock struts through Dubai
For the first time from Punjab
the snow peaks of the Himalayas
come into view
And Venetians look clear to the bottom of canals
to see that their houses really are
built on sand
