Night Blooming Jasmine by Angela ThomasWhen I used to sneak out my window,
the ledge would always grab my hand.
It was almost like it tried to warn me.
I needed to use the airconditioner
to step onto the wet ground.
I'd wipe my feet off on my pants,
and put on my shoes.
The air was laden with night blooming jasmine
as I stepped out. 01/27/2004 Author's Note: This poem was supposed to be titled after a particular scent that triggers a memory, and then the body of the poem should be the memory itself.
