The first encounter is a strange scent. We watch and enjoy, beholding its cerise
blush bloom. We swirl, unleashing hidden stages. Smooth and silky - not what
you would expect emerging from a cave. Or possibly, because darkness is soft and
velvety.
By now you may have begun to imagine the tons of rock weighing heavily on all
sides. The impression of volume, beyond big, beyond full-bodied.
The impression increases, disrupting our sense of balance.
A long, purple trail trickles down the cave wall, pools on the floor, and seeps into
the soil.
It's ten after ten. Time to refill our balloons.
