It
was
huge
and
Fancy
and
Smelled
Like
marshmallows
It was a relief.
A break.
A momentary tangent from the usual smell of dog piss
and
For a while
We stayed there.
Savoring the smell of heaven itself.
But
then
like all good things
It wavered
and
Weakened
until
Finally
Fading
And
now we're back
To smelling our pets' liquid nightmares
