A breath of untouched air
travelled long with me
sealed in a secret corner
stowed away in an unopened package
forgotten under my bed
Unknowingly released
in hurried pursuit of the misplaced
untethered from its confines
In a sudden fresh whisper of unremembered scent
recollected in a burst of memory
with the air of an unexpected kinsman arriving
energetic and enthusiastic even after an inter-continental flight,
before brushing by swiftly and dissolving cheerfully
assimilated freely into the foreign,
heartlessly departing to new lands
Leaving me
the task at hand momentarily neglected,
holding my breath
and thinking of home.
