My head aches from fragrance assault. Yet another miniature, obscenely expensive bottle, is wafted past me for approval. The immaculately manicured saleslady probes me with her eyes, challenges me for a credit card response. The scent slithers and meanders, coils and nests itself inside my head, as my gut lurches ever upward. I mutter some insane nothingness, and dash for the door before my stomach reveals itself on the impeccably polished counter. Clinging to the walls of the small, white cubicle the pain pierces, slashing a spiral staircase, into the pit of my belly, obscuring the image of my lips caressing your throat's valley. < !signature--> "Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule."~ Samuel Butler ~ [This message has been edited by Tess (edited 07-28-2000).] |

Tess, isn't it amazing what will take you back and tear from inside a gut reaction even when you thought all resolved... Your verse is wonderful, Evan |

Drake..i've always found scents very evocative, can take you back instantaneously to a person, place, time, and l guess thats why l wanted to write this.
