Quote by Brenda Hillman
While I slept you stood in thecolorful night marketwith pyramids of brightfruit piled highWhere those who loved you,rushing back to their intimate stalls,held out pears that had beendreamed for youAnd would the dream pear notcome gladlyonce it knew this was youwanting to take it in?The dream pear chose reality,wanting your mouth as I did -Honestly, it was happy to be bitten.
Summary
This quote describes a dream-like scene where the speaker is asleep while the other person visits a vibrant night market. Among the bustling stalls and piles of vibrant fruit, those who care for the person offer them dreamt-of pears. The speaker contemplates how the dream pear, once aware of the person's desire, would willingly let itself be taken in. Both the speaker and the dream pear share a longing for the person's mouth, and the pear is depicted as blissful to be consumed because it fulfills the desire and longing it holds.
