Esens' First Man's Signature Fragrance
Troubadour is the name that received the most votes by Esens customers from six finalists in November 2008, and it is the inaugural man's signature fragrance. Troubadour was submitted by Jimi Bernath of Denver, Colorado. Jimi describes himself as a poet, book seller and collector, leader of a community sing-a-long, father to Hannah and Rachel, and a reader for the dead and living.
Congratulations, Jimi!
This is a poem from the hundreds Jimi has written:
cricket
hold luck in my ageing hand
feel it softly scrabble for the light
i am stronger but what do i command?
even a cricket in this grasping night
that i enclose with fingers uncertain
take it out to late september eve
toss it in still-lush grass and draw the curtain
between the symphony of chirps and what
i believe
still, i'll keep you a moment longer
if i ease your panic, you'll grant me peace
sit there upon my open finger
then dive into the song that does not cease...
