Walking on gigantic feet.
The smell of witch hazel indoors
Changed to narcissus in the street.”

I touch them and smell them. Who speaks?
I absorb them as the Angevine
Absorbs Anjou. I see them as a lover sees,
As a young lover sees the first buds of spring
And as the black Spaniard plays his guitar.”
