Back Next Therapy 4

Please don't speak
You are woman's image
And that's enough for me
Hold your shape
And your mannerisms
Leave your voice with silvered tones
And I will do the same
Until the bubble-image
Of ourselves pops
And then
Only then
Shall I ask
Who you are
And begin the steps
Toward therapy
or shill I
find you
no more conscious
than I?

Irwin R. Shaw - July 19th 1982
