Smell

It permeates the space in which I dwell.
A nasty, awful, disgusting smell.
In a corner of hell, around the way,
"It smells like death."  I heard them say.
Surely they jest, surely they play.
Could I really smell this way?
Alone I am where I dwell...
I am death...and I smell.

Such moments of death, such hours of stench we all do come across, but overcome as well... A poem written so well ...
