Too Tight

By Ananya Sarkar

The ring is too tight for me,
But I'll give you my heart.
The ring is too tight for me,
But I'll give you my soul.
The ring is too tight for me,
But I'll give you all
That can never be confined with a ring.
And all the invisible rivers
That meander in the wind
Will fail to swerve me
From you.
And tattooed on my finger,
By imagination alone,
The ring will gleam
Stringing me to you
In ways others can only dream,
Dissolving the tightness
Like salt in a hot water stream.
