is the swing of her gait
that my hairs lift gently

behind my nape.
so bright is her smile
that all the mountains rise

On a less technical level (no critique intended), so far have found two ways of looking at it, given the title. The less circuitous is that the speaker admits making these observations because the speaker's been celibate for a while. The more circuitous is that these visions are self-observed (but described as if seen by another) messages sent by the speaker on account of her recent celibacy.
Or, of course, the writer is ascribing the title to the subject of the writer's observation, as the reason she's sending these messages to the writer.
Enjoyable in any case.
