Day 158 — Perfume Kitty — Haibun Journey View From My Window

Through my window I look to see why my husband swerved on the road. I see a skunk running down the roadside. It reminds me that spring is truly here. I think about an elderly friend who use to talk about her old dog wrestling with the perfume kitties in spring. We use to teach in the same old school building and this same dog always came up the back fire escape at the end of the day. We’d let him in and he’d lie outside the classroom door to walk her home.

fresh scents of spring
pungent aroma’s wafting
some pleasant some not
