I read DESIRE before this poem and I feel a close connection between the two of them. But this one, written about a week earlier, has a different emotional tone, distanced by the fact that someone else, who doesn't really know Elvie, is describing her from the outside. And is both puzzled and admiring of this person who is lost in her own world, clearly in a state of trance as she wanders through the bliss of memories. You wrote this narrative in a convincing way, it's a gem of characterization.
