what about us
what about our life
our juicer and pictures
the life we were supposed to have

what about our little place
how we arranged it just so
how it housed all we had gathered
over those years

what about our promise
our plan
i thought we had it all figured out
how we could beat the odds

what about our weekly meetings
sunday mornings in bed
how we aired our issues
and you always said ‘none’

what about your promise
in your darkened kitchen
taking pictures of me
that you could keep with you always

what about our recipe book
our spanish adventure
our valencian cook book
and our little blue teapot

what about me
i am not her
im no spanish beauty
brewing tea for one
