Freshly tilled soil, rot on
the forest floor
Chocolate bubbling on the
stove
Gardenias, violets, garlic
breath
Sulphur of the volcano,
A spruce forest in June
after a rain
The splash of ocean surf
after a storm
The cold of snow as it
starts to fall
Drawing us into its arms
A lilac bush, lily of the
valley in bloom
Rain coming on a spring day,
Rain falling on hot wet
pavement in summer
Fresh cut grass, maybe after
a light shower,
Hay after cutting warming
before baling
Bread, fresh from the oven
on the windowsill
The sweet of an orange as it
goes from ripe to just moldy
A dusty road in August miles
from home
Musty basements, a pool of
standing water
Hamburgers on the grill, a
hot fan belt
A tomcat’s mark, popcorn
popping
Whisper of a rose bloom,
Stink of Roquefort cheese
An apple pie cooling on the
shelf
The biting fragrance of a
freesia’s flower
A geranium’s skin, a skunk’s
defense,
Radiator fluid boiling over
under the hood
Wet llama fur, wet burlap
New blacktop, a brand new
car
A baby’s skin
These are smells of creation
A taste of the infinite.
