"Flagrantis speculum veneris (Loveknot)"
by Stephen Yenser
I am flesh and flower
That each other devour.
Tongue-tied lovers know
It's myself I swallow.
That each other devour.
Tongue-tied lovers know
It's myself I swallow.
This poem was written to title and accompany the painting in the book
Another Language of Flowers (New York: George Braziller 1998).
