Sidney Beck Poet Imagism

Drawn By the Nose

DRAWN    BY    THE    NOSE


In a twinkling
Warm kitchen baking smell carries me
Back small for a second  sparkling Christmas
For a second
Tomato sandwich’s tang in the fresh air’s sweet
Wafts thoughts adrift to strand castles in Stanton
In an instant
Fresh polish scent on oft-matt floors makes
Wax coffin-face mementos of grandma
For a moment - - - -

To gallery pictures by aromas
I’m led by the nose.
A  puppet’s nostrils’ tender tendrils
Drawn fast, wind-entwined.
