incense tracks
meander skyward --
erratically;
as they rise, they diffuse
to become nothingness.
Vanishing Tracks [Tanka]

How come the noun “incense” means “a substance that releases a strong fragrance when burned,” but in its adjectival or verbal form it means to be, or make someone, extremely angry.
It’s not a rhetorical question, people. If you’ve got an answer, let me know.
