life

like a thin twisting
wisp from a lit incense stick--
fragrance now and gone.

like death?
is this one reason we have joss sticks smoking at a death scene?
sorry for the morbid thought - but i hate those sticks 'cos of association with death.

I too used to associate this smell with death when I was young. Not now, I don't know why.
