Bulbs

Today we planted bulbs
little capsules of spring
hidden just below the grass

you dug
while I followed behind like a child
full of the wonder of nature
picking up worms
and jumping on earth

Your act
so generous
so simple
and so profound
touched the aching part of me
that cannot believe nearly a year has passed

tears together in the kitchen afterwards
still here
still alive
