the summons

the summons

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


the summons

 

 

imperfect lovers

hazard affection in a bottle 

of aging wine

 

tie-dyed chuckles

laughing at each other's flaws

with graceful countenance

 

and a tender intuition

that no matter the blemish

they could ne'er 

 

opt to be standoffish 

and deny love

when that bottle is 

 

unbarred

and they hold each other

in plausible stupor.

Imperfect lovers may turn into a sound friendship. There certainly appears to be much understanding in this piece Jacob.
