Je Vous Embrasse! Poem by Aria Ligi
Je Vous Embrasse!
I kiss you, I wrote my dear sweet mama.
I kiss you tenderly!
Perfidy! Calumny! Lies! Deceit, Intrigues,
Machinations wielded so prettily between parchment
Entreaties, chastisements,
Belittlements and sycophancy!
I spin, as one doing the gigue,
Feathered in breaths and brocade.
The lilting of delicate promenades
Within mirrored halls,
Silken balustrades, pied-à-terre,
Ensconced nooks, havens of finery.
I hear myself; not as you would.
I see myself and listen to the voices within.

Having read Temple of Love, I feel I have a sense of perspective with this poem, painting a different, most accurate perspective on Marie Antoinette that our history lessons have never taught us. And, it is done with such a lovely tapestry of words.
