As the twinkling of the last star fades The morning mists arise The secrets of the forest lie Beneath their earthly guise The mossy duff exudes An ancient aromatic lure Of reproductive readiness Irresistible and pure A bouquet of love, and want and spice Rivulets arise Invisible on morning air Belie A subterranean surprise The damp silence, split by echoes The jingle of a dog The gravel crunches underfoot In the eastern mountain fog The huffing puffing quadruped Detects the ancient scent His head snaps to, he drops his nose To find the hunts intent He circles against the gradient Of biochemical diffusion A miracle of mammalian Olfactory evolution A cool dawn breeze amongst the trees The leaves, the spruce duff rustle A frantic paw pulls back the moss – The Appalachian truffle
