Woman

Kora Rumiko

It is a being somewhat like a well.

When you drop a well bucket

you will find

restlessness deep in the well. . . .

That she is herself

is more difficult than water is water

just as it's difficult for water to go beyond water

she and I are linked in mutual love

who once betrayed each other

two mirrors who reflected each other

When I escape from her, I incessantly

am forced to be her and when I confront her

instead I become him . . .
