A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

unfurled intersections

 

 

 

morning glories rise

on a dew dropped dawn

 

but Old Glory weaves its understated forlorn fluttering

while what it represents

drowns in indifferent derision

 

we have to make that decision

re-seam what seems to be de-threading the flag

raise the mast

 

topple the tangent torrential insistence

inciting the arbitrary unrest

 

and let Old Glory drift high in the sky

of relevance once again

like a kite needing no strings attached

 

to return to favor

on its own.

and sew opposite skies into one.
