BEYOND THE SMOKE

The petrichor of a summer rain on a Tokyo afternoon

The palpable humidity of a Japanese summer. Something exotic drifts through the air. A dark pineapple, the confused mist of blackcurrant and apple. The sky darkens, heavy, dense, electric. Weighted by rain. A jasmine cuts through the warm humidity, then the first drops fall. They embrace the transparent umbrellas; seep into wood, earth, and moss-lined coats. They give life back to roots made dormant by the breathless air. The exotic petrichor of an unhoped-for rain.
