Somehow across the miles I catch your distant scent and imagine you close your movements your breathing your laughter your eyes shining the silk of your hair the taste of your warm skin in my mouth from my blog 🎨 by Daniel del Orfano

Last night, when the moon slipped into my attic-room disguised as an oblong of light, I sensed she’d come to commiserate. It was August. She travelled with a small valise of darkness… —Kathleen Jamie, “Moon” from SELECTED POEMS, (Picador, 2018) #poem #poetry www.panmacmillan.com/authors/kath...
