Poetry alert

pictures of Spain
the gentlest of throbbings
My Dearest…
finger pressing, gently
now the throbbing
delicately flushed
the leaves and photographs
of Spain; the most delicate
of throbbings; the rarest
of petals and a solitary
pearl; My Dearest…
these pictures of Spain
herein enclosed; the slightest
warmth; hands and fingers
alone; gently and with
great tenderness; My Dearest…
this most pleasant of throbbings.
And pictures of Spain.
