a lovely scent a lovely sentiment
               ------------------------------------------------------

               you are turning my way and i am
               glowing.  there is a great grace
               in your gradual allowances.

               a leaf turning a leaf falling
               a leaf twisting away
               first a flash of reddish gold
               then of fuzzy underside

               a scent a glint a windfall of detail
               the warming -- it spirals slowly at first
               calmly at first -- not calm anymore

               desire reignites
               this page is torn -- an injured calligraphy
               cursive in knotting pain -- scatters shadows
               a wobbly flame
               and only a part remains -- but what a fragrant fragment:

               to be held
               to be held well
               mmmmm...
               to be well again
               to be continued
