The scent

 
Of three peonies and one coffee 
Embraced the fresh air
Of two morning windows
And one evanescing V
Of fifteen geese 
 
Noting one 
Adult 
Male 
Full of sorrow
That of an orphaned child
Sleeping alone 
In a large house overflowing with people
Hugging 
The icy chill of his once homeless nights
 
One van 
Sharing the honeyed pastry
With the driver and his son
Pausing the time
Of two crossroads
 
Joined by one
Giant father 
On his way to school
Holding the hand
Of his elfie daughter
Gingerly
With pride
 
Followed 
By seven ravens 
Of satin feathers
Ravenously ripping
The leftover corpses
Of the idea
Of once Great Britain 
 
Passed by one 
“guy” 
Roughly the age of the crown and ‘heart
With two shoes
Large enough
To fit his soul twice
And also my inappropriate wonder
 
Despite the one
Constant migraine
Refusing to let go
Knocking 
With a force
On the door
Of one impatient
Coach
Blocking 
One pelican 
Crossing
 
Resulting in my first words of that day
To myself
“What an Rsall”
To him
“What are you doin’?! It’s RED!!!”
 
Eye bellowed
Just like an insane poster up above
Claiming
“In the age of light darkness arises”
Screaming
FAKE
 
For the light
Had its way
To touch
Even the Nite
 
Pulling her gaze 
Off the ground
Anchoring her
In nothing
But 
The gloomy clouds
For some
For her
Behind a tattered web of dark threads
Dusted
With myriads of shimmering stars
 
Melting the skies
Into honey drops
Caressing
The delicate green babies 
Of one ancient pine
Bathing 
In a heart 
Of one twilight
 
Being the breathtaking background
For the silver lining 
Of two wings
Singing 
The graceful silhouette 
Of one seagull
Into the existence
 
Painting the veils of apricots
Onto the powder 
Blue canvas
Printing the embarrassed letters
Of one blushing maple 
To hundreds 
Of mosquitoes 
“Leaf
Leaf!
Leaf!!!”
 
That’s when she realised
The stabbing pain to be completely gone
Feeling
Nothing
But that indescribable non-touch 
Of her long lost friend
Feeling its presence 
Dancing all around her
Insisting
On something
She intimately knew
Years ago
 
“Em”
 
Unable to tame 
A soft smile out of the blue 
She remembered 
“…first you slow down your steps
Breath
Hearing
Sight
Will follow
That’s how you meet the silence”
 
In a rustle
Of one tangelo fox 
Tiptoeing ‘round
Not noticing her
Being preoccupied 
With proudly carrying 
its Sainsbury shopping bag
 
The same sound echoed 
In the wings 
Of two raven thieves 
Stealing carmine rich cherries
From one 
Summer 
 
“already??”
Her sudden tear whispered
 
Mirroring her Dad
 
Asking
The true reason WHY
the flowers had to close their eyes 
to see 
 
True nite
