SCENT MEMORY

A candle burns
slowly
its scent permeates
the room
I lie in my bed ready
for sleep
I must douse the
candle out.

But my thoughts revolve around a
scent memory
I do not want to lose that
memory/image
I close my eyes and
dream
as scent memory drifts
into my sub conscious.

I awaken alive
to a candle that
has died.
