Balmont K. Autumn air

Smells like mushrooms and leafage that moulders,
While it also smells
Like it smoulders.
In the blue distance is the smoke that slowly swells.
It both crawls and, for some reason or other, delays,
Seemingly urging us on:
Here, come closer.
      _      _      _      Clearly, yon
Is a peat bog ablaze.
