NaPoWrMo #8: Smell-a-vision

Smell-a-vision


The light smell that drifts by

Is a whiff of your scent

It is a pleasant, painful reminder

Of a distant tinkle of the ivories

That dragged me into

What I didn’t know

It was time that belonged

To someone and somewhere else

It is a rare olfactory reaction

That is instant whiplash

Then I descend to the present

Of peace and safety

And I’m glad to walk on by

Not to seek out that sensation

But to replace it with

Delicious complex aromas of now
