At a certain spot in the yard
A fragrance stopped me
The body of a spirit
I could not identify at first
No flower but a scent
Standing waiting there
To be inhaled the way
You lift an old shirt
Of someone gone to taste
Their perfumed sweat again
Still lingering there
Notes of myrrh and woodbine
From the work of days
Receive my happy tears
