I swear

All day, asleep in clean grasses,
I dream of the one who could really wound me.
Not with weapons, not with a kiss, not with a look.
Not even with his goodness.

If a man was never to lie to me. Never lie me.
I swear I would never leave him.
 
[Louise Erdrich {1954- }, from "The Strange People" in Original Fire]
