ellusive

Happy New Year!

This is something I started writing before the holidays, before I got sick, and before I spent much time sleeping and reading. Life is good! : )

ellusive

ellusive
unlike
sticky pine-scented sap
reside tacky against your skin.

ellusive
unlike
the stinging sharpness of a winter's breath
crystalizing tears against your cheek.

ellusive
unlike
the scent of freshly baked bread, hot
melting the essence of home in your mouth.
