Market of Stars | Secret Garden Pixie Duster Cropped Kimono

$174.99

Vibrant, exotic and luxurious — welcome to our Secret Garden! This imaginative piece features the image of a woman in resplendent dress carrying lilies through her garden, which was painted in 1871. The architectural elements, including the spired chateau and decorative wall panels were painted during the same era, and the charming swan comes from a drawing done in 1580. The beautiful branch with oranges and birds comes from an antique Japanese woodblock print. The trim combines two different French textile prints from the 1800’s… and for a final, whimsical flourish, we added the image of a pair of embroidered velvet slippers and a Parisian fan, both circa 1900.

The Poem:

Though I try,
the whole garden of you
will not fit inside my eye.
Fineness of lilies,
alyssum and weedy yarrow, wild
meadowsweet. The fruits
of your labours, impossible
persimmons grafted
to an apple tree. And the secret
fallow places you hide,
where orphan seeds
wait patiently, for rain.

I still wander the tireless
seasons of you, where even
the silence between us
fills with flowers. Sometimes
I glimpse the greenhouse on the hill
if I am lucky — its trusses and purlin
ribs, your humming heart of bees,
that tended place
where I meet myself,
and am welcomed.
