The officer enjoyed his chair/as he looked though his specs/while working on the files.
The zest of his vengeful style/but a few manners docile/and the hypocrisy of time/that led
him harass his subordinates/now in his untimely death/with a few drops of tears/bring a flash
of remembrance/of the frills around the mount/of his nose and below the eyes/ which, in hindsight/
looked/they suggested severe fatigue/not anger. ( from the poem, 'Memory of of an officer on his death'

The insight is that after death, the remembrance of the fatigued face of the harassing, but now dead boss, gives the feeling that those grimaces on his face might just be signs of a tired life ending, and not of grouse and anger.
