two

i felt a snake on my forehead,
little like a worm.
i let it crawl from my head to my hand
where it slid beside the second snake,
also little like a worm.
asleep, my mind knew
these tiny two were brewing symbols
for you and you.

i saw two bunnies in the snow,
watched them wander on the white road
and whispered to your mother,  follow.
asleep, my mind knew
these tiny two were brewing symbols
for you and you.

you were simple splitting cells
but i sensed your existence
and dreamed vividly of two.

double the mothers.
double the dumplings.
double the destinies.
