Like Pablo Neruda, I once participated in a gift exchange with a stranger through a hole in a fence. Shifting forms looked through the lattice. I remember her hands resting, locking eyes, and folding you like an envelope. The power of the symbol is held within tightly woven waves, like the queen of cups hidden inside a deck of playing cards. I tried to tell you that this embrace is exhausting, but soaked with sun our intimate systems of two forms combine.

100% of Essex Flowers' and Drawer's proceeds will be donated to The Loveland Foundation. The Loveland Therapy Fund gives access to high quality mental health services to Black women and girls.
