Work Text:

A gift bestowed with shaking hands —
I trust, but do not understand.
This tartan thermos but a token
Of all that must remain unspoken.
Your gaze is soft as lunar light
As fondness permeates the night.
Sonorous drumbeats of my heart
Warn me that I must depart,
Must not lapse into reverie;
The impossible you offer me.
Heartsick with longing as I flee —
My dear, you go too fast for me.
