Patina on bronze

Tribute the teacher jacob erin-cilberto

bare to the bones
whetherd, boiled or
honed
his challenge
to review

arbitrary themes
stiched into his seems
heartfelt sleeves
reaching past
the surface
of you

short ways of longing
distilling the breath
of loves unfulfilled
desire

streetlight memories
patina on bronze
blue green tones
to admire
