You sit on your back porch smoking cigarettes;
Laughing,
Because you know that death is imminent.
Tell me,
When you pulled me onto your lap
And we were rocking in that wicker chair,
Did you even consider the color of the sunset
And the color of the fire,
Before you let the warship set adrift out to Valhalla?
