speeding across
the river bridge by car,
i miss the scent --
sweet riverine perfume --
that I'd smell from the bank.

“Come slowly — Eden!” (205) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]
Come slowly -- Eden!
Lips unused to Thee --
Bashful -- sip thy Jessamines --
As the fainting Bee --
Reaching late his flower,
Round her chamber hums --
Counts his nectars --
Enters -- and is lost in Balms.

the scent of death assaults my nostrils: carcass or fungi?
