scents of seasons

 

I.

march sometimes is muddying every shoe even if it might be shit 

but all dirt smells that way this month

it could be halloween

seagulls circle parking lots like cars looking for parking 

spots in the sky



march not yet april

windbreakers and damp pavement and then sun shoulders through 

birds and engines waking up 

at once

hastily preparing

running late for spring



II.


rain on hot june days 

leaves a smell tasting of old spoons

worms and a placid lake

water spiders skating over bass 

seaweed tickling their bellies

clay and the clams tucked in

the musk of soil and sand

basement floors
