She Comes Out Smelling Like Rain
Washed the roundish rock off in the pond.
Metallic sizzle smell came from her center.
Reminding me of a sauna’s fragrance.
Mica and feldspar glinted under the water.
I lift her out and sense a metallic scent.
Instantly visualizing iron on a rainy day.
Memories flood my brain
Other rocks collected and cherished
Thrown out by a prissy mother
Another treasure! I dunk her into the gentle water.
Next to miniscule minnows
She comes out smelling like rain.
