have you ever

have you ever
been with a man
who smelt of dewdrops
with a hint of smoked earth?

have you ever
kissed a man
who smelt of fresh cherry
just before it ripens?

have you ever
slept beside a man
who smelt of ocean spray
that hits you when least expect it?

have you ever smelt
a man's hair
that drove you madly
into sweet hay crusted with marine salt?

have you ever sniffed
a man's wrist
that smelled of crushed lime leaf
and pebbles of the river next door?
