Scent of Orange




since…sun/set
call to prayer fade out
on shores south of here
old ring in my ear left behind…

seated back on chair in Crete
silent cup before me
night/time
feet still…in sandals
lantern now to light
speech less
color gone grays

ahh…somehow
orange blossom scent carried here
 (though no breeze)
ENVELOPED
 in orange blossom scent carried here
 (though no breeze)
held in air
nostrils sway for more

tongue tastes 
last sun/set’s orange
light gone to fragrance
ahh…somehow
orange blossom scent carried here…
