-It's no use begging God
To make of her a woman of flesh and blood,
One who has weight and volume.
It will be in vain.
She has in her the touch of dream.
No, I said.
She caresses me with the third hand of softness,
The one we were born with and we forgot.

 

Background: a conversation between my mother and her mother about one of the sisters: the dreamy one.
