fire smell lingers
the smell of the fire lingers,
an almost subtle,
an almost subtle,
but ever present,
aura to the moment,
the house tanged with it,
so I’ve opened up windows and doors
in hopes fresher air
can be the dissolution solution,
on the screened-in porch
ash has slipped through the screen wire,
and been wind-piled into corners, inches deep.
