A lesson to love the one you're with. Boy did she ever get the ultimate revenge.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

We fall for the myth while infected by loves contagion, yet within the mind, the diagnosis is slightly less than terminal, but not by much. And amnesia kicks in automatically when someone else aims their affection, or infection at us. Will we never learn?
Mesmerizing words Jacob, making sense of the senseless.

thank you for your kind words, Lorry,

I love this. This is a great example of "less is more" . . . this is packed with wordplay delights, as well as hidden meanings (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
There are myths and fables … prophets … and I have heard of death by proxy … but I don't think I've ever seen all bundled into the same fabulous bit of poetry.

Well written j.
