Scent
The sky is sun baked
and hued golden,
streamers dart
from behind cotton clouds.
And now
on the ground
are two strong magnets
*pulse*
an attraction to metal
but push away
when they get too close.
And again
there is red flame there
what does it mean?
It’s a secret,
a secret scent,
voodoo,
and cinnamon.
You indeed are cardamom,
my favorite flavor
stirred into my tea,
bittersweet.
What shall it be?
It shall be,
please.
At night
I have a lack of dreams,
only sights and smells.
Everything else eludes me;
escapes
to another place.
Honeysuckle,
baby powder,
no.
East.
Great mystery,
the greater mystery,
the den of the ladies:
gold,
discreet
new language:
code,
informed.
New places to be,
glance around,
glance around,
smell it,
the scents,
the artificial scents.
Deepen me;
stretched,
dainty.
