Here I am

It’s not that I haven’t tried, but somehow… Here I (still) am —

Alone together, Maria Kreyn, 2012 —

Ready, set, lights on.

Here I am.

“Do it again.”

The exercice is simple, though.

One single spotlight on stage.

The audience is in the dark.

Take one step forward,

Look at them, bathed with light,

And say: “Here I am.”

Here I still am.

Not that I haven’t tried before,

A little bit every day.

That’s what he teaches us.

When you want something in life,

You have to work at it

A little bit,

Every single day.

But they got that

Long before I did, right?

Make her disappear,

No brutality.

Just work on it,

A little bit

Every single day.

Here I am.

“Do it again.”

Do you think he sees it?

That there’s just a presence on stage,

That there’s no one living in this body anymore.

A ghost, in essence.

The stars

Called through the window

That night,

And I almost answered:

“Here I am”.
