fragrant hardwood smoke
curling and drifting
around seasoned pieces of meat
its low heat transforming
raw animal tissues
into succulent mouth watering
red ringed fork tender
works of culinary art
so flavor imbued that any sauce
is rendered superflous
the lingering scent
a reminder of the magic
of wood fired BBQ
