We See You: For Ukraine By: Hila Ratzabi for Ritualwell
Crowded in a subway station in Kharkiv
A student from another country clutches A dog to her chest Answering the reporter’s questions As men rush down the stairs Interrupting the interview.
Toddlers in snowsuits on blankets. Teenagers, heads down to their phones. Mothers’ eyes looking everywhere.
Svieta says she grabbed her documents and cash, She has a car, but nowhere to go. As she speaks, a boy in a blue winter hat And black-framed glasses, a few years older Than my oldest son, peeks out from behind her, Smiles shyly as he eyes the camera. A man stands behind him with his backpack Pressed against his chest, holding himself.
We see you. In our living rooms, At kitchen tables, as we pack lunches And perform our morning routines, We watch, helpless, holding your faces To our hearts as we tend to the small luxuries Of the mundane.
We fear from afar The brutal waste of war The extravagant arrogance of power. We rage at the rage of men Who refuse to see you, or rather, Choose to see through you and thereby Refuse to see themselves.
We see you. See the subway train Stalled at the station, the indefinite Pause of commute. We see you Huddled from the thunder Of bombs whose distance from you Is incalculable but near enough To tremble the heart.
We tremble with you. From across the world We hold you close Not with thoughts or prayers But the presence of the heart A commitment to witness A dedication to peace. We see you. We hold you. We will not leave your side.
