Time's passage through a figment of mountain rain

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Time's passage through a figment of mountain rain

 

 

 

trifles

tears over little nothings

 

when a life hangs in the balance

three roads barricaded

there is a detour if they may find it

 

under the bypass

the pavement widens

existence is a heavy load

wheels aged of tread

 

beeps heard over eerie silence

eyes under lids wanting to rouse

look in the rear view

of memories

 

still hoping to drive towards more

trifles

tears over little nothings

 

anything of second chance breaths

the toll paid

everything is fresh scenery

 

when the world wakes 

skidding to alert.

 

Welcome back.
