Smells of Creation – v3


Freshly tilled soil, decay on the forest floor
Chocolate bubbling on the stove
Gardenias, violets, garlic breath
Sulphur of the volcano, the mud flat,
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 blossom,
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 just-washed skin -
These are smells of creation,
A taste of the infinite.
