scented candles,
she loved scented candles,
and those plug in things
full of a liquid
concoction
that would send
perfume all
through the house.
i smelled like
lilacs
when i left the next morning.
people in line
behind me at the store
would sniff at my
clothes, and smile,
and tell me how
wonderful i smelled.
thank you,
it's lilac, i'd tell them,
then hold out my arm
to their curious
noses.
