Descending one by one
a flight of stairs,
thoughts climb up
a day of despair

Vehicle parked in basement lot
Driving home made no sense
Enter the car, I did not
"and that made all the difference"

Public transport, window seat
summer evening, cold breeze
petrichor whiff, prolonged sniff

Descending one by one
conductors' whistle blow
refreshed senses recollect
lines from "Dust of Snow"
