A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


interlude

spry insinuations,
an old eye winks
aging verisimilitude


she pauses
he feels young again,
she passes

his thoughts interred 
finite smile
laughing tears---

Strange how we lose track and mix memories with false recollections. But still the fire burns and we look for the signals that coals are alight. Such stimuli of word choice that, for me, evoke aging and the descent towards loss.

thank you for your kind review, John,

Brief though it might have been, your interlude displays such a range of emotions: appreciation, cheekiness, memory, joy, sadness. And, all in few extraordinary words.
