You said, I don't want to wear a wedding ring
so that I may not hurt your face
when I wash your face in the morning.
You said, I don't want to wear a wedding ring
so that I may not harm you
when I lift you up from the bed.
Now in the morning sunlight
piercing through the lace curtain,
you come to me and scoop cold water with your hands from the washbowl.
I can see the drops of water falling
from the tips of your ten fingers.
They are more beautiful than gold or silver.
