Poems - nasal nostalgia

nasal nostalgia

by delapruch

some sweet succulent smell reminds of long ago
reminds of better times
(apple orchard, college dorm, time spent stuck inside on a snowy evening)
reminds of beloved people now long gone (gf, bf, random 1ns)
reminds of the moments that make our hearts race
(1st kiss, 1st time on stage, 1st walk in a foreign country)
reminds of the ways in which the human body can
flip (into foreplay),
twirl (heating up),
pulsate (geyser bâclée) &
convulse with pleasure
(reverberations throughout) &
snnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnifffffffffffffffffffffff
breathing in
snnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnifffffffffffffffffffffff
breathing in again---
there are smells which tell of times spent with family members
which may no longer be with us
that make the gut wrench in pain &
the heart ache
when they return unwanted
(due to the interruption of our lives, invasive return) &
this is why two people can smell the same thing
with a completely different tone in the
reception of the following situation---
we fall in love with our smells &
we run from them, but alas,
unlike the sights & sounds that accompany our memories,
they take the longest to fade---
it is even said that mothers can recognize their biological young by
their smell,
though how nostalgic that can be,
one wonders.
