In the Wet Wood – v5

The evergreen forest, wet fragrance

after the cooling shower

sweet scent of pine

caught in wisps of air

mixing with more earthy tones

wafting on the breeze.

Damp night falling

around me as I walk

in the darkening evening

on the wet dirt road

a stillness around me

in the northern wood.
