love note to your aroma

floating on smooth summer air
 a hot breeze seeps into the mountain pass
 the aroma of cinnamon
 earthy and humid, it envelops my face
 like opening my mother’s oven thanksgiving morning
 

your pheromones came to me
 on the wave of the sticky evening air
 i breathed you in
 i devoured all the oxygen from the valley
 greedy and gorged
 like thanksgiving evening
 i succumb to the aromatic hangover
 stargazing on my back in the soft grass
