Smell

The smell of the coming of summer, of warmth still, subtle and new. Long easy nights of innocent love. The scent light as a teenage ignorance of the future; leaving a trace, as the nose almost forgets the smell, of burdensome nostalgy.

Touch

It feels like a silhouette still against a white sky. Hiding cryptic messages along its lines.
