‘Tis customary as we part



‘Tis customary as we part
A trinket ― to confer ―
It helps to stimulate the faith
When Lovers be afar ―
‘Tis various ― as the various taste ―
Clematis ― journeying far ―
Presents me with a single Curl
Of her Electric Hair ―
Emily Dickinson
Curl hair of amber
'Tis customary to present a trinket
As we part―
It helps to stimulate the faith
When Lovers be faraway―
'Tis various ― as the various taste ―
Clematis journeying far ―
Presents me with a single Curl
Of her Hair of Amber ―
+ electric: amber in Greek.
