Swirls of Smoke
Smoke billows in whirls
Filtering through the shades
Of forests of glamour
With no grass to burn
But trunks to demolish
Swirls of smoke
Burning from vacuum
With logs greasy and green
But billows of smoke
Coiling like pythons
The search continues
Swirls of smoke
With fires hidden in huts
Smoking like them
The old locomotives
With siren and noisy
With fires hidden
Brother alight the fire
Beyond the hill and plains
For the eyes to see
For the covenant to seal
We remain brothers
Swirls of smoke
Navigated migrations
With consummate fires
Hidden for surprise
With smoke that billows
The fire burns
The moment of truth |
