Standing
In the middle of our very own miracle,
Something precious
Is happening between us, darling.
And it’s no secret
That we both come from troubled soil
And cruel weather.
But you, brave in your devotion,
Take my hand
And I, full of care,
Take yours.
Together,
We soften cursed earth.
Together,
We grow what little love we can.
We’d rather be ready and wrong
Than miss a good chance
At a good love.
- Upile Chisala
