So cool that cirrus vertebratus is an actual classification term. Funny how much you forget from school, but I still remember sitting in science class as a 9-year-old learning about the major cloud types. :D
I love the reflection prompted by the decay of masses and the emanation of fragrances. The first thing that popped in my mind was jasmine. Forgive the puns, but it is a weighty thing to consider the heady(heavy?) scent of jasmine on a breeze, such a powerful odor pumped out through such small flowers...when they are alive. And in their decay, that scent lessens rapidly and a mustiness takes over until the flower is just a papery husk with but a nuanceless ghost of a fragrance that can hang on for decades as the Mahorais lei on my mother-in-law's wall attests.
