Your presence is like a New Summer,

You send my cold heart a sirocco.

It is when a local from Erzurum

Drinks its tea with Lemon,

Or when a Satsuma tree blossoms in Japan.

Kumquat is the colour of your hair,

And I am at peace with your Koji eyes.

Until this summer ends,

Your Grapefruits will ripen.

I wonder if you will let me taste them?
