Last night it was suddenly Spring
Just like that
like going over a bump in the road
abruptly almost uncannily
balmy and warm and still
the sky lovely and bluish purple and
though I’d left the office quite late
staying light all the way home
It will go away again I know
but once it’s been here
however briefly
it’s never quite the same winter again
Then when I walked in the door
I caught the scents of
cooking garlic and laundry soap
perhaps the two smells I associate most in the world
with home
