As a kid I remember walking onto my grandmother's porch at night. The smell was always of earth, moisture, decay, regrowth, and a little love that would follow me out of the house. A night breeze would move across my skin. I was always a little afraid of the darkness off the porch, and the possibility of what existed within it.
Tonight those old smells found me, and the breeze too. Only now I am searching that space off the porch, although that fragrance of love is still all around.
