The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Floral

I am floral. 
Boisterous. 
Petals come to mind. 
But also-

The weird hat in the back of my closet. 
Gives me photos. 
Mirrors that aren’t supposed to be mirrors. 
Being free like a coupon.

Floating like a puddle. 
I am floral. 
The smell is like the smell of a speck of sand. 
Nothing. 

I am floral. 
Petals are things you can pluck but can’t do much about. 
Some types of things grow back. 
Some never stop. 

If a flower were a speck of sand, it would last. 
Has a smell, but is small enough. 
Small. 
Anyway. 

I am floral. 

The mirror backs away.
