Background
A description of the experience
Walt Whitman – Leaves of Grass
Houses and rooms are full of perfumes … the shelves are crowded with perfumes
I breathe the fragrance myself, and know it and like it,
The distillation would intoxicate me also, but I shall not let it
…..
The smoke of my own breath
Echoes, ripples, buzzed whispers... loveroot, silkthread, crotch and vine
My respiration and inspiration
