A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

the current in a bottle

 

 

dip my bones

in a love potion

to rekindle the magic

within

that has lain dormant

for so many years

with sleight of heart.

The magic of love never fades, we just cloud our view of the fire with the smoke of our expectations.

Thank you, Stella...and yes, if only.
Most creative Jacob. Magic of words on a page. These seem to work better than any potion. You always seem to have those magic words my friend.

I have found over time that dipping one's bones will not work, only co-dipping the two fleshes simultaneously. Bones have no nerve endings, taste, sight, smell, touch, sound, or orientation, they are but an ultimatum carrying us forth until they break from crashing into another's. The bones' love potion is milk, the love potion of skin and flesh is hormonal sweat, and it's mildly salted to taste

Oh to feel young again is a love potion in itself, no aches or creaking bones. How invigorating! Great write J.

Currently my bones settle against the glass, tinder still lacks ignition, and the magic of my performance lain dormant...
Can a magician restore it?
This made me think, first read, I was not stunningly impressed, second and third read yielded better results, maybe it's the sleight of emotional leverage employed...
Well written, as always...
