Smells

Rain
Puddles
Bath-time, a wet dog
Boots that have sat inside for a while after getting wet
The ocean
A field of flowers after it rains
The bathroom after I take a shower


Things that smell like childhood


Cookies baking on a rainy day
Popcorn popped on the stove
Cinnamon in warm milk with honey
Chammomile tea
Pomegranates bursting with fruit
patchouli oil
nag champa
pot
hot soup and biscuits
garlic stir-fried in olive oil
a campfire
Dr. bronner’s Peppermint soap
Dad’s breath after he drinks a beer
Goldfish crackers and corn chips
Lilacs, grandma’s handkercheif


Things that smell like now


B after her shower
Kai’s wet head
A cold beer
A desert sunset
Rain
bacon & fried eggs
coffee


Things that smell like the future
An ocean breeze
A rain forest
Grandchildren’s heads

Flowers at a funeral
