I tried to write a love song
in a lab.
For citronellol, traded in
a rose.
I whispered isomers,
you only laughed.
2- Phenylethanol
did not arouse?

I’ve burned incense in the churches
and I’ve washed with cleansing lye.
I don’t want to smell like birches
or go lay where lilies lie.
I only wish to have again the scent
of her, from days now spent.

Living 1,000 Lives
It’s been a long day
At night,
The hard residues of life
Hardly washed away.
