The Soft, Dreamy Scent of Ripe Bananas

Fresh linen, cassis candle wax, baby powder,

lavender, vanilla and dark chocolate.

Cut watermelon just under your nose.

Coffee. Coffee brewing. Coffee brewing just under my nose.

Awakening, the eyes take over.

The soft, dreamy scene of glowing sheer curtains.

The soft, dreamy sound of cats walking.

A distinct no-sound sound.

And in the bed where softness languishes,

the soft, dreamy feel of her warm, soft flesh.

Her thigh slips by. I don’t wonder why.

It’s Sunday and it is the morning

of the soft, dreamy scents of unrushed life.

Ahhh, the fragrance of bananas.
