The Scent

The scent of failure; To it

Not that failure; Repels me; Quite the opposite, I declare!

Why then; To explain myself; Out of this difficulty

That has arisen; In part; To explain myself

An opening; I sought, yes, an opening; What I sought

Out of; Mere native curiosity; A difficulty

Native?; No, Human; Say human, to explain yourself

Opening; Far from the scent; The difficulty

To explain yourself; For failure; Signifies

Something closed; A wound, perhaps; Something

Yes; So it was, I've forgotten; The scent
