Cigar smoke mingles
Conversation draws on
Old men still young
In minds only.
Days of old
Days of strong hands on pistol grips
Days of fiery spears shot into the dark
Days of lightning streaking across stern faces.
The Old Corps now
The Old Corps now
Memories of Hadrian’s Wall.
Cigar smoke mingles
Young faces now wizened
White hair on veteran heads
The thunder recedes in the distance.
My favorite one thus far.
