the smell of me in a life
i leave things in other peoples houses on purpose.
so they remember me.
so i have reasons to return.
i left a poster in one,
my sunglasses in another,
so i stay in mind.
so when they wear the glasses, or the pass the poster,
they think of Nadia.
me.
i leave bits of me in every place i go,
i make sure to share too much, or shout too loud.
so they remember me.
maybe its more so they never forget.
a story here and a tale there,
a scream of laughter here a song there.
when i go back, i tell them to keep the poster,
the laugh.
or i never remind them to return.
as long as its there, or its been there, then so have i.
i existed in a place at a time in a mood.
so they know, the smell of me in their lives, and their houses.
