of a womanA Poem by Kees KapteynI remember your scent used to be sweeter, The scent of firsts Lingering on my sheets for days. I would breathe you, mix you with my blood. Now, You are the scent of your own blood, Lingering in the wastebasket, The scent of argument. I avoid and it follows me through the house, The scent of your humanity. © 2008 Kees Kapteyn |
