the face

the face

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

the face

 

 

vindictive strangers

come so close

 

we can touch their wry sarcasm

put a finger on the pulse of their irony

 

we can poem about the distant look in their eyes

but trust their honesty

 

until dawn breaks

the too friendly moon in half.
