The Dream of a Common Language

… We did this. Conceived of each other, 

conceived each other in a darkness

which I remember as drenched in light. 

I want to call this, life.

But I can’t call it life until we start to move

beyond this secret circle of fire

where our bodies are giant shadows flung on a wall

where the night becomes our inner darkness, and sleeps

like a dumb beast, head on her paws, in the corner.”

― Adrienne Rich, The Dream of a Common Language
