Anxious Parchment

Anxious Parchment

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Anxious Parchment

 

 

Splattered Ideas on

suspicious sky

dawn darkly

 

the sun hesitant to show itself

in its disarray

of rays askew like the heart

that watches from behind its walls

 

uncomfortable clouds

scurry by in haphazard breeze

as conclusions become openers---

that close faster than the writing can be read

and blue is the color of the paper

 

only when

the filament above

finds its way to trust.

Yes what will the day bring or offer, sometimes enough to make the sun shudder and maybe hide behind a cloud for a day!

the sun hesitant to show itself
in its disarray
of rays askew like the heart
that watches from behind its walls
