Love this. The frothyness of the beautiful camelias that builds to the stained pavement image. Ooof. Powerful. An unexpected end and more edgy and poignant for it in my opinion. I also really enjoyed the image of kissing the camelia - I felt like it made such a clever nod to your own mortality; that you were in touch with yourself in that moment l. Delicious and sensual.
Also, is that photo of Camelia of the East? She's so handsome in that pinstripe :) xx
Oh gosh, thank you Ruth. I did wonder about that last paragraph. I moved it about but I wanted it to end with suggestion of death and decay. The morbid side of me coming out. I wasn’t sure about lots of this but pressed publish anyway. Getting braver. She is indeed Camellia of the East! Isn’t she delicious?! x
I love the last paragraph! I see it more about renewal and the natural rhythm of life than death and decay... I loved reading it. x
Thank you Bel!
