i saw your face in a bowl of rice

[betteroffbad]

i saw your face in a bowl of rice
are you aware that trees have rings
i dreamed of you and some other things
i dreamed it more than once or twice

the rice was hoping as I've hoped
a hundred times just to be seen
it hovered somewhere in between
emotion-waked and stillness-doped

I don't know what you're trying to say
or if it's you at all in there
bedecked with rice instead of hair
couldn't you find another way
