And she said to him...
I didn't need him. There was no time, no void or empty space in my life.
When my father held me and whispered to me in front of the fire I thought
of God... but he was outside and we were tightly enclosed... and
I didn't need him. And on the shore near the sea when you made
love to me I thought of God. But he was everywhere except inside
of me... and I didn't need him.
Oh, why was it you who came after, you and the dancer.
The dancer!
And he said to her...
I don't understand what she understands,
but I know her. I've seen her at night and at dawn and I've been afraid,
too afraid to be consumed by my own love for her. And we've talked
about all things until words and gestures are meaningless and
I had to sleep, but she didn't. I whispered come back and sleep with me, let the sunlight wake us, together.
And she said to him...
Not together. No sun will ever find us together. There is only the night
and my dancer. See see how he moves his body, his beautiful
rippling body... how his skin glistens, see the naked beauty? Where?
There... he dances to the song of the guitar... he is the song
of the guitar. And he wants me to dance with him....
