Looking for a friend, babe?

I have been listening to this bird since 20 minutes. I can’t see it – it must be hiding in one of the neighbourhood trees. It makes a typical bird sound. Something like Tui-Tuiii-Tsk-Tsk, Tui-Tuiii Tsk Tskkkk. Again and again. There is no other sound around, maybe a car now and then. And this wonderfully singing bird. I came home a while ago from Athens downtown – noise, dirt and a deeply depressing mood due to the heavy injury of a protester, due to the murder of a family father.
I came home frustrated after having a chat with a couple of friends and local residents. I came home and my nose was hanging… And then I stepped out in the balcony and heard this bird. Tui-Tuiii-Tsk -Tsk. Again and again… Tireless. A holy moment of nature and peace above the concrete buildings. A happy and eager trilling covering all other city sounds.
As I write this post, the bird has moved to another tree, a bit further away. It tried again to find a friend, most probably a match. Tui-Tuiii-Tsk-Tsk. With deference. After a couple of tries it flew away. No match around in this neighborhood.
Meanwhile some real chirppers have started their evening concert. And the neighbor’s girls shouting to each other: “Mariiiiiiaaaaaaa!”, “Steeeelllaaaaaaa!” – as every early evening. The moment of magic is suddenly gone.
Thank God, our local blackbird has just started calling his friends
