“When you find a man
Who transforms
Every part of you
Into poetry,
Who makes each one of your hairs
Into a poem,
When you find a man
Capable,
As lam,
Of bathing and adorning you
With poetry,
I will beg you
To follow him without hesitation.
It is not important
That you belong to me or him
But that you belong to poetry.”
