Background
A description of the experience
(UNTITLED)
Tired of my thousand-autumn swing,
I wander off lazily stretching my slender hands,
dew still thick on frail blossoms,
faint beads of sweat staining gossamer robes.
When I see him coming,
I flee, embarrassed,
stockings slipping, gold hairpin loose,
then pause at the door, turning back
to savor the scent of azure-green plums.
