Dial Ego for Murder

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


Dial Ego for Murder

 

 

disparage my heart,

insult my love

placate your own vanity

assuage the impatience of your 

superfluous, spandex mind

 

but never doubt that sincerity

gets its revenge.

I love the directness of this piece and the conviction that karma will have its day. Excellent Jacob. Such strength in brevity.

The invective in this has a life of its own as it slaps along in defiance of a tort. As always you craft your poetry without fat on the carcass and each word filled with flavour!
