A bus stop in the rain

Wet pavement, dust after the rain, iris, violet leaf, vetiver and moss: cool scents for a grey, rainy day.

Dusk in a rainy city: lights in the windows, a street lamp over the wet road, puddles on the pavement. The rainy-day scents wait out in the rain under their umbrellas. Bring one in and it sits down on the bench under the shelter, its name is written with a finger on the misted glass, and the old one runs off in drops.
