with smoke in our eyes

as i roll the corn
over on the grill,
rubbing smoke
from my eyes,
the fresh
cob
without its jacket
of husk being charred,
i reminisce
about other times
like this.
decades ago.
the charcoal going
white
with heat.
the blue sky above.
someone
in the other room,
seasoning
what
we're about to eat.
