The Scent of a Thousand Rains

by Damon Falke

A book length poem telling a love story in verse. A man finds himself alone in an apartment in Budapest. He peers from the window to discover a woman standing on her balcony. A literary exploration of a life lived in pursuit, the poem suggests that in a life of transience and loss, love and imagination are the only things that remain to us and of us.
