Woke to a weird forest-fire mustard sky
the hovering sun, a polished copper penny.

No, I’m not imagining things: I am losing my sense of smell
and I AM smelling smoke.

could encounter some pretty smelly things in the course of a day. I won’t go
into details now as I am eating my lunch: Wild BC Salmon which I can taste if
not smell!
