Woman and her symbols
Her personality is vulnerable and liable to fragmentation
her dreams contain secret meanings
In a dissociative state she could be mistaken
for having lost her soul.
Symbols have unlimited meanings.
To one, a ring could mean marriage
To another, a deep, dark well.
She ran away into a young man’s heart
She ran away into his solid arms and present flesh
When she sleeps
She lies in a million colours.
