C. Prince
​
Blue Ridge Mountains No. 17


Scent notes: woodsmoke lashing your eyelids to salt.

The songs you lullaby into blue tarps 
by starlight.

Wet ferns and maplessness. 

Rainwater pearling fallen pine needles. 
Wet fleece sweating into your stomach. 

That smoke that sticks 
under your fingernails for months. 

A strange man's mouth-rot swearing
it's your fault.
