strange small things that delight me


strange small things that delight me

the taste of jasmine tea
   in my old green mug
      while sitting under the oak
calzone at the Italian deli
    across from the bank
       and its memories of youth
the scarlet dawn sky
   as rain nears
      during a heat wave
the smell of sandalwood
    from the iron incense burner
        in the little room upstairs  
the scent of the air
   after a thunder storm
       in mid July
recreational thrift shopping
    finding a great blue blazer
       on sale
the haunting shakuhachi melody
   from the CD player
     early on Sunday morning
what strange small things delight you
