scents & sensibilities

a moment...

sitting

'listening'

the curious kitty pawing at the closest door
Quit that!
more insistant clawing

sigh...

get up
open the door
looks around
then departs
close the door
settle back down



oh yeah...

'listening'

the distant whir of cars
the call of a train
his breathe next to me
inhale
exhale
ahhh...
my breathe
inhale
exhale

belly breathe

from a remote room
the sound of the 'road runner'
whoosh...
beep beep

we laugh
belly laughs

the scooter scoots to another remote room
as we settle back down
with a smile full of

'feeling'

my feet!
so neglected
a part of me
yet so distant

a second pair of hands
that can feel too

oh squishy tube
don't burst!
I just want to feel your insides move

how can a soft plush towel feel so rough?

oh yes, dear pup
my feet are swimming in your pappa's shoes now!
play?
you want to play?

mmmm...
I think the baseball needs to relax some first
under my toes
and
arch
and
ahhhh

okay
lets play
outside!

brrrrr

'seeing'

twinkle, twinkle Venus star
with half moon brightly illuminating a clear night sky
charcoal grey
with tints of orange on the skyline
night lights noise
and smog
snuffing from sight
more sky lights than the I can see

so small they look

who may be looking down
from this domed sky
at this tiny semi conscious cell
???


'smelling'

time for dinner!

cool outside
but
warm inside

as I am contained in a body
the scent of lotion is contained in this glass jar
no hint of what sweetness is inside
glass
clear and cool
metal lid
flat and tinny

opened up
released!
the scent of honey and blossoms
the essence of sweetness!

the scissors nearby
ready to cut
hard metal and plastic
upon closer scent
incense
full of spice!

dinner done
avocado
earthly oil mixed with garlic and lime
...and a hint of 'pica'

sliced jicama
fresh and sweet

the merging of senses
begins when

'tasting'

mmm mmm moment
