The Black Narcissus · perfume obsession and the scented skin
The Black Narcissus 
Lush luxury.
Actually an overgrown scum-house. D brought along the creeper when we moved in here and it has taken over. I quite like it, but our abode is viewed with suspicious eye by passersby.
Calls for a spritz of Vent Vert!
a GIANT spritz, brought in on an industrial crane. Mass death by galbanum.
the title to a poem
Why not write a poem, all together?
Our house is overgrown
Leaves, a green snake, scaling the walls
ooh – liking it.
We do get snakes here actually.
A poem in itself!
“Junglee” would be the South Asian descriptive. I prefer junglee but my Nepali gardener loves butching everything into globular shapes in my garden.
!
It is quite verdant.
WEEDSVILLE!
