With a flower

«I hide myslef within my flower,
That wearing on your breast,
You, unsuspecting, wear me too -
And angels know the rest.

I hide myslef within my flower,
That, fading from your vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me
Almost a loneliness»

A moving gift from my significant other. «Love Poems and Others», by Emily Dickinson. The pleasure of affection, the pleasure of words, the sensualism of poetry felt in the surface of my skin. All contained in a 1950's collector's edition. A gift from Loulou. Thank you.
