She Will Come Back

She will return in her body She will need him Like sins, like virtues. At some unknown place, In some unknown room, She will love him in her heart. As if walking in a dream, She will go there, Uninvited without a reason. All within herself, For centuries she’ll sit there Where the dreams wait To go crazy in desires. She will need him Like a dream That she saw Only with her open eyes, As if he were a shoulder To lean on to cry. As if wanting someone is a curse, An unending wailing Or a dialogue with self, She will need him. As if needing someone is preserving happiness And keeping sorrow at a distance, She will need him. As if it is an incurable malady, As if it is to get out of a sorcerer’s spell, She will need him. She will need him Like a sin, Like a virtue And will return in her body Like a hidden wound. 14 March 2006
