Smells Like Sandalwood

I spin

around

and around

and around

like a top on a wooden floor.

"Where are you?

Show me you're here.

Please?"

I stop.

I stand still.

I wait.

There is just enough light

from the full moon

shining through the

kitchen window.

The white, frilly curtains

move slightly.

Shifting.

Fluttering.

And then I smell

the smell that was all Jackson,

because he kept that head

and beautiful face

so well shaven.

Sandalwood

shaving

cream.
