Her Scent Poem by Hm. Nes

Her Scent



I feared her scent,
That it was more than I could bear
In this present condition,
In this tenuous state of mind

Not in this life-
This shallow, hollow existence-
Not today of all days

Still, she came into the room
Uninvited-
Uninvited-
Largely unwanted,
And, at the same time, wanted-
More than reason will allow

The words fell limply from my quavering lips,
'Go'-
'Go away'-
'No, don't go. Stay. Stay.'
She stayed-
And my fear turned to calm,
And then to dread

She may never go-
What will I feed her?
