Eyes drifting
In waiting,
Silently,
              Gazing
In vain,
Despite it,
He enlarged them
Widely opened, as if
Searched for something interesting,
Very
Carefully,
                  Silently,

Like a lazy bear, he put it on the old wooden table.
Carefully,
             refolding
his courage
lifting up
ferrous arms
stripping
Carefully,
a tinny piece,
rolling himself,
In still noise
a cigarette of
Powerful
low-graded
rustika,
a variety of
great purge
hunger
killing
good reason,
One pack a day
It helped, like hell
Helped.

It helped survive
the cold,
and everyday
toil when
soldiers and ants
starved,
Makhorka,
insecticide
of freedom.

Silently,
Looking in vain,
Despite it,
He kept them
widely opened,
Carefully,
                   Silently.
