Cinnamon

by Richard Vince

The smell of cinnamon follows me
As I ascend the escalator,
As though I were soaring into
Some sweet cloud.

My lips and fingers are sticky;
The hope that someone else
Will get high on the spicy scent
I have left behind
Makes it all worthwhile.

sounds like a delicious way to start the day :) Makes me want to bake something, I've long maintained that baking in the spring and summer with the windows open is really a public service for all my neighbors

Mmmmm, cinnamon. One of my favorite scents! This is gorgeous!
