Thanks to everybody for comments on recent stuff. My time is short so
apologies I haven't done individual thanks. Well done Matt if you look here.
This piece strarted from looking through a woman's magazine.
FRAGRANCE
I wish you could smell me
really do
better than
fresh groung coffee on the simmer
new-mown lawns
the air at dawn
I am the smell to make you
close your eyes
take a deep breath
and sigh with contentment
if there's any air left
to contain my aroma
I too am the eventual smell
who is confident
empty of emotional baggage
the essence of love
after fresh flowers
have been placed betwen us
I am the smell that will last
maybe for days
continue for weeks
or months or years ahead
last for seconds
then stay fragrant in your head forever
