Nascent Scent
waves and waves arrived
through the mirror on the wall
becoming falls and falls
coming down with flowers and flowers
i walked past a street bench
a raincoat dangled around the lamppost
waving and waving
a dog was following my shadow
i was following the scent of a swimming suit
the night was quiet and chilly
the theater, the bar, the café
thick with rhymed silence and seasoned faces
a cable car was sliding downhill
with a burst of giggles and a sea of kisses
into the mist, the shoreline, the ocean
i felt like crying
a soft cry that nobody could hear but my heart
