A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

it was

 

 

 

 

bleached blonde

reconciliation

an understanding of the turning of the screw

 

a likeness of darkness

and lost momentum

blame tossed randomly

specifically

artificially

 

life a path of indecision

for one

creates decision 

in another

and a time to move on

 

the intelligent scheme

needed to forge a path

of least resistance

 

of self-preservation

an understanding of the turning of the screw

 

her time to move on.

You know that turning of the screw is such a pain. Torture I would say. When that happens you take the quickest exit out, run and don't look back :)

Taming of the screwed shrew?
I love how tightly wound this one is, like cutting into a golf ball to find miles of rubber packed.
