Noses Know
The nose knows subtle scents of olfactory note.
It retains ten thousand smells
of everything afloat.
The nose knows subtle scents of flowering festoons.
It retains a vast bouquet
of redolent perfumes.
The nose knows subtle scents of delicious cuisines.
It retains appetent file
of gustatory scenes.
The nose knows subtle scents of petrichoric rains.
It retains chemistry
of climatic domains.
The nose knows subtle scents of body pheromones.
It retains an odor print
of erogenous zones.
The nose knows subtle scents of countless coteries.
It retains a hidden stream
of lifelong memories.
