That yearning, yes! I've been feeling that, too, which reminded me of the poem. She touches it so neatly with this.
thank you for introducing me to her work.
You're welcome! :D I am happy to be able to share her work! She's written so many good poems, I could recommend them all, but you might like "Wild Honey" in particular.
Wild honey has the scent of freedom, dust--of a ray of sun, a girl's mouth--of a violet, and gold--has no perfume.
Watery--the mignonette, and like an apple--love, but we have found out forever that blood smells only of blood.
