The subtle, profound, the pungent,
sweet, soft, loud, ornate
naming a fragrance,
of the variations of lilac scents
the soft subtle lily of the valley
the flesh under the skin of a kiwi
fresh-mown lawn,
blacktop after a shower
under a mostly sunny sky in August
(versus a light shower on a wet lawn
in late May)
dirt turned in the garden
steak on the grill
Naming a fragrance
to evoke, to stir,
to remember,
all so we can understand
