I see a woman any woman making up and change
first she is thinking of something else (because when a woman
begins to make up she hasn't yet separated
this act from the rest of the day).
But when arranging the various objects that the ceremony
preciously determines in the exact place around her hands
the woman knows that something has entered this world again
