Ah, those top notes; citrus, lavender
She was a fine woman alright
brutish with a piece of beef
an expert with a colander
And those heart notes; cinnamon, jasmine
They followed her
from room to room
existing there, unyielding
For the base notes; vanilla, musk
Yes, yes and yes
I loved your mother’s perfume
on her neck, on the veranda, just before dusk.
Listen
