Kindling crackles as the flames of ignition dance through the campfire
Surrounding shadows cast and swirling smoke dithers for direction
Boughs bend, branches snap as the firelight transcending days last glimmer
The flames grow bolder seizing larger logs savouring its foraged fare
Intermittent gasps as woodsmoke interrupts the fresh forest aroma
Warm heart smoulders embers encouraged and sustained by the fodder of windfall
Dough twisted on a stick baked in the heat of the fires hot blush
Sausages sizzle and spit turned in a pan balanced on horizontal scorched chunks
Bangers burnished eagerly devoured succulent meaty bites warms the soul
Complemented by the smoke tinged crust wolfed in the evening air
