today i've left the window open for
a breeze of fresh air to
plant itself in my collapsed lungs

as i sniffed the air i
smelled something kinda
familiar

all i could smell was
freshly-baked pancakes on an
early, october evening

all i could smell was
snippets from my childhood
it was smelling like home
