Blue Aura of Woody Smoke

 
Colonel loomed large with his lieutenant 
solid chunk of life kisses death intimately 
blue aura of woody smoke rise
flashing across mental screens wise

Solid chunk of life kisses death intimately 
an instant adjusting lens and memory
flashing across mental screens wise 
meeting with Ministers of State dies

An instant adjusting lens and memory
arriving long before appointed time
meeting with Ministers of State dies 
waiting equals patience eating pies

The catching up began steady 
tiny portals of Light descended 
beams directed heavy bags ready
cigarettes and gaffes lit discomfort 

Tiny portals of Light descended 
blue aura of woody smoke rise
cigarettes and gaffes lit discomfort 
Colonel loomed large with his lieutenant
