a touch of dawn on the flowers leaves me drunk on nothing and on lilac light drunk, unmoving, certain  -- Alejandra

a touch of dawn on the flowers
leaves me drunk on nothing and on lilac light
drunk, unmoving, certain

a touch of dawn on the flowers

leaves me drunk on nothing and on lilac light

drunk, unmoving, certain
