There You Are by Victoria Adukwei Bulley There you are this cold day boiling the water on the stove pouring the herbs into the pot hawthorn, rose; buying the tulips & looking at them, holding your heart in your hands at the table saying please, please to nobody else here in the kitchen with you. How hard, how heavy this all is. How beautiful, these things you do, in case they help, these things you do which, although you haven’t said it yet, say that you want to live. You can find this poem in Quiet Poems.
