but i recognized it.
the smell of campfire smoke
that sinks into
e v e r y
l i t t l e
t h i n g
it touches.
it broke me right then,
when i realized it.
the smell of a million memories
buried deep in my roots.
something i couldn't escape,
even if i wanted to.
it was a part of me,
wrapping itself around my heart,
rejoicing in every heart beat.
just seeping into my bones,
as a river flows through the mountains.
blue skies that burn themselves into your memory,
the heavy, fresh dirt that sinks into your shoes.
it was just a smell,
but even those can be powerful.
