i dreamed he stood before a woman, smiling,
and placing a ring around her finger.
i said,
was this a disturbing dream for you?
she said,
of course, yes. but it was the woman
who disturbed me most.
i said,
what was it about her
that disturbed you?
she said,
i couldn’t see her face.
i said,
if you were to put a face on her now,
whose face would you put there?
she said,
i would put my own.
i said,
and what if
you were to become the ring?
she said,
i would choose my finger and
i would wrap myself around it.
i said,
and what if
you were to become the woman?
